1,1-Dichloroethylene in Ards Crossroads Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Ards Crossroads Florida Homes

1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals affect nearby sources. Because it evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry or dishwashing, so it may influence both the water you use and the indoor air in your home. It usually can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, so testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s present. If lab results show elevated levels, many Ards Crossroads homeowners choose to address it at the point where water first enters the house.

Even if your tap water looks crystal clear, VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene can be present at trace levels that change over time. For families in Ards Crossroads who want to limit exposure during everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—a whole-house solution delivers treated water to every bathroom, appliance, and the kitchen. That single-system approach keeps water quality consistent throughout the home instead of treating only one faucet.
