Overnight drizzle, fog drip and a housing boom of the 1950s

The county’s hazard plan describes how summer fog regularly produces light drizzle overnight into the early morning in Pacifica, and how condensation from the fog drips from trees overnight. That is a damp coast, and damp air is slow to dry a cleaned carpet. The long-run temperature normals at its Pacifica station, about a mile away at 475 feet, put July afternoons near 69 F and January nights near 45 F. Run a fan and keep the room open; the Carpet and Rug Institute gives 6 to 12 hours as the usual range.

The same plan says the city grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and most of its housing, 54 percent as of 2010, was built then. Federal housing estimates today count 14,665 housing units, 72.5 percent of them detached houses and 14.5 percent in five-plus-unit buildings. Of 13,915 occupied homes, 32 percent are rented, and the median housing unit is from 1966. A further 115 of 750 vacant units are held for seasonal or occasional use.

The North Coast County Water District supplies Pacifica and bought all the water it delivered in 2025 from the San Francisco regional system. Its report lists hardness at 8.1 to 112 milligrams per liter, averaging 62, about 3.6 grains per gallon. Hardness is dissolved calcium and magnesium, and in any water a full rinse keeps cleaner from being left in the pile.

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 Pacifica

Does Pacifica’s fog slow carpet drying?

It can. The county hazard plan says summer fog regularly brings overnight drizzle to Pacifica, and the local station’s July high averages near 69 F. Plan on the 6 to 12 hours the Carpet and Rug Institute gives as usual, and keep a fan running.

Is Pacifica’s tap water hard?

The North Coast County Water District’s 2025 report averages 62 mg/L, or 3.6 grains a gallon, all of it bought from the San Francisco regional system. Rinse thoroughly in any water.

Do you clean carpet in Linda Mar and Sharp Park homes?

California First serves all of Pacifica, including the neighborhoods the city names such as Linda Mar, Sharp Park, Rockaway Beach and Pedro Point. Give your neighborhood when you phone (844) 966-2005.

What should I do when a Pacifica carpet stays damp?

Lift furniture off the carpet, run a fan and open a window only when the air outside is drier than the fog. A carpet still wet after 12 hours calls for a professional, the Carpet and Rug Institute says, and the office answers at any hour.
