Why The Rotten Egg Smell Happens

Recognizing the common causes of a sulfur-like odor can help homeowners take the right steps to improve their home’s water quality.

Sulfur-Bearing Water Sources

Water drawn from aquifers or wells rich in sulfur compounds can create persistent odors without proper filtration or water treatment systems installed.

Anode Rod In Water Heater

Standard anode rods used to prevent tank corrosion sometimes interact with bacteria, leading to the release of foul-smelling hydrogen sulfide gas.

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas In Well Water

Naturally occurring hydrogen sulfide gas dissolves in groundwater, leading to the characteristic rotten egg smell when water is used in the home.

Bacteria Growth In Water Heater

Bacteria flourishing in warm water heaters can react with minerals to produce hydrogen sulfide gas, causing bad odors to come from hot water taps.
