Water Smells Like Rotten Eggs

Why does my water smell like rotten eggs?

Hydrogen sulfide contamination causes water to smell like rotten eggs and can leave unsightly black stains. Wells and deeper plumbing systems lacking oxygen are more prone to experiencing hydrogen sulfide. This odor is especially present in hotter water. It can be toxic, but it’s usually detected before it reaches toxic levels. Hydrogen sulfide can occur in your water heater, softener, groundwater, well or piping. If you are experiencing a rotten egg odor and flavor in your water, our specialists can determine the source and provide you with affordable solutions.
