Coastal

Central
Dishwasher overflows in North Park, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and National City look small until the toe-kick is open. 1950s-80s stock with copper supply and cast-iron drains kitchens hide water under cabinet runs, and pinhole copper and drain backups are the volume drivers plus moderate humidity with older envelopes that hide moisture decide how far the wick spreads.
