Reston homes and water damage
Many homes are 1960s–1990s townhomes and condos. Reston has many 1960s–1990s townhomes and condos clustered around its lakes and village centers, with shared walls, roofs and plumbing. A leak in one unit can spread to neighbors, and responsibility is split between owners and cluster associations. Many single-family homes have finished basements, where a failed sump pump or water heater can soak carpet and drywall quickly. Town Center has high-rise condos with shared plumbing stacks. Many cluster homes sit on wooded lots, where falling trees during storms damage roofs and let rain inside, and many older homes have original water heaters and supply lines near the end of their life.
