Before the crew arrives in Mc Lean
Mc Lean sits near Falls Church, and its homes are mostly owner-occupied houses. Census figures show 14% are rented and 9% sit in buildings of 5 or more units. Flood claims run above the county's, at 2.2 per 1,000 homes from 2016 to 2025 against 0.8 for Fairfax County. So basement water after a storm is a real case. Stay out of water near outlets, and switch off power only from a dry spot.
For a pipe leak, close the main shutoff in the basement, then switch off breakers for wet rooms. Photograph the source and the damage, and lift boxes off the floor. Water-damaged floor repair in a finished basement waits until the slab is dry. Water removal in Falls Church follows the same steps. Calls are answered 24/7.
