Foggy mornings, a Lafayette water plant and houses from around 1960

Reports describe Lafayette summers as warm, dry and very sunny, though mornings can be foggy, with cool, damp winters and an occasional freeze. The nearest 30-year weather station, at Concord’s wastewater plant about 7 miles away, averages 88 F on July afternoons and 42 F on January nights. A foggy morning slows a cleaned room’s drying; a sunny afternoon speeds it up.

About half of the housing predates 1960: the typical home dates from 1960, and 79 percent of units were built before 1980. Some 74 percent are detached houses, and only 23 percent of occupied homes are rented. Carpet over older floors, long hallways and rugs on hardwood are all part of a house like this.

EBMUD supplies the water, and one of its treatment plants carries the town’s name. The 2025 report lists hardness of 1 to 2 grains per gallon, 14 to 27 ppm, at the Lafayette plant, though it does not say which plant serves which street. The range across all plants runs to 9 grains, so the district is the place to ask about an address.

Rugs, fireplaces and fog

Rug cleaning comes first where area rugs lie on older hardwood, with carpet cleaning for bedrooms and stairs. Chimney cleaning is worth a question for houses with a fireplace, since NFPA 211 calls for an inspection at least once a year.

Allison C.October 5, 2026
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.

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.

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 Lafayette

Lafayette mornings can be foggy. Does that change drying?

Damp air slows it. Drying often takes 6 to 12 hours, the Carpet and Rug Institute says, depending on airflow, humidity and carpet type, and reports note foggy summer mornings in Lafayette. Run a fan through the morning and open a window by afternoon when it is dry.

Is the water at the Lafayette treatment plant soft?

EBMUD’s 2025 report lists 1 to 2 grains per gallon at its Lafayette plant, among the lowest figures it prints. The report does not say which plant serves a given street, so ask the district about your address.

My Lafayette house dates from around 1960. What should I mention?

Say what the floors are underneath, how worn the stairs and hallways are and whether rugs sit on hardwood. About half the town’s housing predates 1960, so age is the first question.

Should I have the chimney cleaned before using the fireplace?

Chimney cleaning is on the service list, and the Chimney Safety Institute notes that NFPA 211 calls for chimneys and vents to be inspected at least once a year, even if the fireplace is rarely used. Describe the fireplace when you call.
