Centreville is largely a 1980s and 1990s buildout, and that dates it squarely into the polybutylene plumbing era. Polybutylene fails at the insert fittings, usually without any warning leak beforehand, and a large share of the burst pipe calls we take from the 20120 and 20121 zips are exactly this. If your home went up in that window it is worth locating the pipe entering the water heater and checking.
The other Centreville pattern is townhome cluster flooding. Shared wall construction means a water event in one unit routinely reaches the units either side, and the drying scope has to cross a party wall to be complete. Basements here also sit on the same slow draining Piedmont clay as the rest of the county, so sump systems carry real load during a sustained rain.
