A: That unpleasant, rotten egg smell in your water is typically caused by hydrogen sulfide gas. Here in Door County, we've been tackling this issue for decades, and it's more common than you might think.

The most frequent culprits are:

Well water: If you're on a private well, naturally occurring sulfur bacteria in the groundwater might be the source.

Your water heater: If the smell only occurs with hot water, bacteria in the water heater tank could be reacting with the anode rod, producing hydrogen sulfide gas.

At Brad Tanck Plumbing, we've been solving this smelly problem for generations. Our expert team can quickly diagnose the source and implement the right solution, whether it's flushing your water heater, installing a water treatment system, or addressing more complex issues.
