For homeowners concerned about drinking water quality, PFAS contamination is an issue that can’t be ignored. PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of synthetic chemicals commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” Once they enter the environment, PFAS break down extremely slowly, accumulating in soil, water supplies and even the human body over time.
