1,1-Dichloroethylene in Fairvilla Florida Water

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

1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry or dishwashing, so concerns aren’t limited to just what you drink. It’s often undetectable by taste, smell, or sight, which is why testing is the usual way homeowners confirm its presence. If your tests show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Fairvilla house is the best way to reduce exposure throughout the home.

Even clear water from the tap can contain trace VOCs like 1,1-Dichloroethylene, and amounts can change over time. Many families in the Orlando/Orange County area prefer to lower exposure for everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing — rather than limiting treatment to one faucet. A whole-house solution delivers treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances across your Fairvilla property, giving consistent protection throughout the home’s routine in our humid subtropical climate where municipal supplies are often moderately hard.
