What Causes Smelly Water?

There’s more than one reason your water might smell off:

  • Rotten egg smell – May be caused by hydrogen sulfide gas or sulfur-reducing bacteria, common in well water
  • Chlorine smell – Often found in city water where chemical disinfectants are used
  • Earthy or musty odor– Can come from decaying organic matter or algae in water sources
  • Sewage or chemical smells – Could indicate contamination or aging plumbing

We test your water to find the cause, then recommend the best fix—whether it’s a whole house water filter, reverse osmosis system, or point-of-use solution.
