Local know-how
Foundation problems in Reston
Reston was founded in 1964 as one of the first planned new towns in the United States, starting with Lake Anne village. Its housing mixes townhouse clusters, single-family homes and condominiums from the 1960s to today, many on sloped, wooded lots.
Soils in western Fairfax County are mostly Piedmont clays over weathered rock. Water flowing downhill toward houses, tree roots and decades of seasonal movement are common causes of cracked walls and settling.
Clusters, HOAs and shared walls
Many Reston homes are in townhouse clusters governed by cluster associations within the Reston Association. Foundation responsibility for shared walls or common elements may fall to the cluster. Check your documents before scheduling repairs.
