1,1-Dichloroethylene in Hanson Florida Water

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

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals enter groundwater. Because it volatilizes readily, it can move from water into the air during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so it can affect both the water you use and the indoor air in your Hanson home. Homeowners usually can’t see, taste or smell it, so testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s present. If local test results show elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your house is a common next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often detected at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee it’s absent. Many Hanson families choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not only at a single sink. A whole-house solution keeps treated water consistent for bathrooms, the kitchen and household appliances, giving one coordinated layer of protection across your Florida home.
