Two water districts, small buildings and a Very High fire zone

Dana Point’s homes were built mostly before 1990. The median unit dates from 1979, 53 percent were built in 1979 or earlier and 39 percent between 1980 and 1999. Small apartment buildings stand out: 26 percent of the 16,484 units are in buildings with 2 to 9 homes, more than the larger sizes combined. Owners hold 62 percent of occupied homes and tenants the other 38 percent, 5,212 households.

Two districts supply Dana Point, South Coast Water District and Moulton Niguel Water District, and their numbers differ. South Coast reports imported Metropolitan water at 14 grains per gallon of hardness, Baker plant water at 17 and its own recovered groundwater at 207 milligrams per liter, while Moulton Niguel averaged 16.45 grains per gallon in 2024. About 85 percent of the South Coast supply is imported. All of those figures sit in the very hard class of the USGS scale, so ask for a careful rinse whichever bill you get.

The Laguna Beach weather station posts a July high averaging 79.5 F. The weather service says that when the marine layer is shallow, low clouds stay at the beaches and warm sun begins about a mile inland, so coastal and inland carpets dry differently. The recommended 2025 state maps mark 193 acres of Dana Point as Very High fire hazard, 74 as High and 78 as Moderate.

Older, smaller and coastal

  1. A 1979 median

    Half the units are older than that year and only 8 percent date from 2000 or later. The office will ask how old your carpet is.

  2. Buildings of two to nine homes

    Twenty-six percent of units are in buildings with 2 to 9 homes and 14 percent are attached homes. Say whether your unit is upstairs or down when you book.

  3. About four in ten rented

    Of 13,860 occupied homes, 5,212 are renter-occupied, which makes the move-out cleaning a routine reason to call.

What the neighborhoods tend to ask for

Requests from Lantern Village, Capistrano Beach, Monarch Beach and Doheny Village all follow the same steps. Carpet cleaning and rug cleaning cover most homes here, and upholstery cleaning suits sofas and chairs in condos and small apartments.

  • Allison C.

    I particularly liked the way the lead cleaner described the PH balance of the solutions that they were using on our carpets. The acidic neutralizing rinse makes sure the floor doesn’t feel crunchy or sticky when it is dry. That extra step means our floors are very silky and totally residue-free.

  • Crystal M.

    My kids have turned the giant living room ottoman into a trampoline and it's forever soiled with imprints. Steam cleaning the hefty cloth removed all the dark grime and restored the original bright blue hue. The furniture which is the focus is clean and the living space appears a lot tidier today.

  • Daniel R.

    Thick outdoor seats were covered in tree algae and bird poop. Power-washings of the tough material killed any dirt from outside. We are pleased to be hosting barbecues from our clean chairs again.

Questions from Dana Point

Which water district serves my Dana Point address, and is the water hard?
Two districts serve the city, South Coast Water District and Moulton Niguel Water District, and the city’s utilities page names both. South Coast’s imported water measures 14 to 17 grains per gallon in its 2025 report and Moulton Niguel averaged 16.45 in 2024, all in USGS’s very hard class. Your bill names your district.
Does smoke or ash from a wildfire reach Dana Point homes?
The recommended 2025 maps mark 193 acres of Dana Point in the Very High zone, slightly more than the 180 acres in the 2007 to 2011 maps. After a fire South Coast AQMD says not to use leaf blowers on ash and to vacuum indoors with a HEPA filter. Smoke odor in rugs and upholstery can be treated, though nobody can promise a perfect result.
Does the marine layer slow carpet drying on the coast?
It can. The weather service describes the marine layer as lasting into early summer, which locals call May Gray or June Gloom, and damp air slows drying. The Carpet and Rug Institute puts a typical drying time at 6 to 12 hours, so run a fan or the air conditioning and keep the room open.
I live in a small apartment building in Dana Point. Can you clean my carpet?
Yes. Twenty-six percent of the city’s units are in buildings with 2 to 9 homes, and 38 percent of occupied homes are rented. Give the office your floor, the rooms and any parking or entry rules when you call (844) 966-2005.
