McLean water losses tend to involve high value finishes and contents, which shifts the priority order. Solid hardwood, stone, custom millwork, wine storage and finished lower levels with significant contents all have a shorter salvage window than standard construction, and the contents question usually needs answering on the first visit rather than the third.
Older McLean properties near Chain Bridge Road and the established streets off Kirby Road carry the same pre 1960 issues found in Annandale, including galvanized lines and, in pre 1980 homes, asbestos containing materials in flooring and pipe insulation that change the demolition protocol. Newer estate construction fails differently, usually at appliance supply lines, HVAC condensate and irrigation or exterior lines during a freeze.
