What San Mateo County does
to a washer.

Where washers sit in San Mateo County: gated communities, designed laundry rooms, pool and beach towels.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Gated communities

Getting to a washer behind a gate means being cleared at the guardhouse beforehand by the owner or the estate manager. The laundry room beyond it often has stone or wood floors, so the machine is slid out on protective pads and kept clear of the cabinets.

Designed laundry rooms

Placing the washer for symmetry instead of for plumbing can leave its drain hose crossing a long flat stretch, and that is often why a brand-new unit empties slowly or posts a drain code.

Pool and beach towels

A backyard built for entertaining means the washer takes pool towels, cushion covers and swimsuits load after load. Sand, grass and chlorinated water all find their way to the pump filter, which needs clearing more often than in a house without a pool.
