1,1-Dichloroethylene in Seagrove Beach Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Seagrove Beach 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 volatilizes, it can move from water into the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. It often has no noticeable taste, smell or color, which means testing is usually the only reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water where it comes into your Seagrove Beach house is a sensible next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are typically found at very low concentrations that can fluctuate, so clear water isn’t proof of safety. Many homeowners prefer to lower their family’s routine exposure during cooking, tooth brushing and bathing rather than addressing only one faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water throughout your home — bathrooms, kitchen and appliances — so everyone in your Seagrove Beach residence benefits from a single consistent solution.
