1,1-Dichloroethylene in Lakewood Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Lakewood 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 readily evaporates, this contaminant can move from water into the air during showers, laundry, or dishwashing — so it may affect both the water you use and the air in your home. It usually can’t be detected by taste, smell, or appearance, which is why testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present; if results are elevated, addressing the water where it first enters your Lakewood home is a practical next step.

VOCs like 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found at very low concentrations that can change over time, so clear-looking water doesn’t guarantee they aren’t there. Many Lakewood families choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities — cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing — rather than treating just one faucet. A whole-house system delivers consistent, treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and household appliances, giving one solution that supports daily routines throughout your Florida home.
