Water with a strong “rotten egg” smell is usually caused by hydrogen sulfide gas or sulfur-producing bacteria. While the odor is unpleasant on its own, it also signals deeper issues within your water supply that can affect comfort, cleanliness, and plumbing health.
What this problem can lead to:
Foul odors in sinks, showers, appliances, and laundry
Corrosion inside water heaters and plumbing lines
Black or yellow staining on fixtures and surfaces
A feeling of unsanitary water, despite being visually clear
