Serving Daly City

Daly City sits in the fog belt, and that single fact shapes most of the work we do here. The Westlake district, with its tightly packed Doelger homes from the late 1940s and 1950s, gets damp marine air pushed over it more days of the year than almost anywhere else in the Bay Area, and masonry that never fully dries out behaves differently from masonry that does. We see efflorescence on Daly City brickwork constantly, along with saturated stacks on the windward face and crowns that have taken decades of moisture without ever getting a proper dry spell. The other local characteristic is the sheer uniformity of the housing: when one Westlake block has a particular failure, the block behind it usually has the same one.

Deep in the coastal fog belt with masonry that rarely dries out fully, producing persistent efflorescence, saturated windward faces and long-term crown deterioration. Highly uniform Doelger tract construction from the late 1940s and 1950s means failures repeat street by street. Wind-driven rain rather than vertical rain is the usual entry mechanism.
