What San Francisco does
to a washer.

Where washers sit in San Francisco: small homes, older housing stock, designed laundry rooms.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Small homes

In a tight laundry closet the supply hoses behind the washer are often bent hard against the wall when the machine is pushed back, which restricts the fill and stresses the fittings. Leaving a hand's width behind the cabinet and using hoses with angled ends solves most of it.

Older housing stock

Wood floors in older houses flex under a spinning drum far more than a concrete slab does, so a washer upstairs or on a raised porch can shake and walk even with sound suspension. A level, well-supported base does as much for these machines as any new part.

Designed laundry rooms

A house whose kitchen came from a designer usually got a laundry from the same hand: washer framed by cabinets, perched on a matching drawer. That neat fit leaves little slack in the hoses and drain, and pulling the machine out for service takes patience.

Marina

Flats in this neighborhood either share machines downstairs or squeeze a stacked or 24-inch washer into a closet of their own.

Noe Valley

In a narrow row house the washer usually stands on the garage level or in a back hall, often as the bottom half of a stacked pair.

Pacific Heights

In these big houses the laundry often ended up in an old service room or down on the entry level, reached by pipes lengthened in several remodels.

Presidio Heights

On a dry day more than 80 million gallons of wastewater from neighborhoods such as Presidio Heights flows to one of three SFPUC treatment plants: Southeast, Oceanside or North Point.

Russian Hill

Of the roughly 1,900 miles of sewer mains and laterals under San Francisco's streets, more than 300 miles are over 100 years old.

Sea Cliff

Storage and transport boxes about 50 feet deep, running under streets such as the Great Highway, hold roughly 200 million gallons of combined stormwater and sewage until it can be treated.
