What Sea Cliff does
to a washer.

Discharges from them now happen about 10 times a year on average, down from more than 80 untreated overflows a year before they were built.

Studies cited by the SFPUC found those discharges to be 94 percent stormwater.

Before San Francisco was founded, the Spanish called the Sea Cliff area Coyote Gulch, also the name of the creek that runs from Mountain Lake in the Presidio to Baker Beach.

On the water

When surge water comes in, the laundry on the lowest level is usually its first stop. Once floodwater has reached a washer's base, the motor, pump and control board have to be opened, dried and tested before it goes back on power, however clean the cabinet looks.

Designed laundry rooms

The washers in these homes are often European front-loaders or premium models with auto-dosing and steam, and repairing them calls for brand-specific parts and diagnostics rather than generic ones.

Older housing stock

Older supply plumbing, especially galvanized steel, can shed rust and scale into a washer's inlet screens and slow the fill until the machine reports a water supply error. Clearing the screens and checking the house valves comes before replacing the washer's own valve.
