Chantilly is largely 1990s and 2000s construction, which means the failure profile is different from the older parts of the county. The plumbing is generally sound, so the losses come from appliance supply lines, water heaters reaching the end of a typical service life, and HVAC condensate systems where a blocked drain line overflows into the pan and then into the ceiling or closet wall below.
The townhome density here creates the second pattern. Floor assemblies in this stock move water sideways along a joist before it drops, so the wet ceiling below is often several feet from the actual source. Thermal imaging across the whole ceiling rather than just the stained section is how the real extent gets found, and it is the difference between one dried bay and three.
