Does Your Water Smell Like Sulfur or Rotten Eggs?

Find everything you need to get rid of H2S and that sulfur/rotten-egg smell from your water with Culligan of Lexington SC

Why Does My Water Smell Like Rotten Eggs in Midlands of South Carolina & CSRA of Georgia?

Usually, if your water smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, the reason is because your water has high Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) content.

H2S is a gas that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

(Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.)

H2S dissolves in water to create a weak acid that can corrode metal pipes

Negative Effects of H2S

In addition to potential health risks, having H2S in your water can cause all sorts of annoying problems. H2S in your water can:

  • Cause coffee and tea to be discolored and taste funny
  • Corrode metals (steel, copper, iron, brass), including silverware
  • Cause foods cooked with water to taste “off”
  • Create yellow or black stains in your bathroom and kitchen 

How Do You Fix It?

Here at Culligan, you can find everything you need to get rid of H2S and that sulfur/rotten-egg smell from your water.

The first step we have to take is to test your water, so we can be sure of the real cause of the rotten-egg smell.

Fortunately, here at Culligan we offer this service free. One of our water experts will come to your home to test the water (you can’t send it away to a laboratory because H2S is a gas and could dissipate during transport) and let you know the source of your rotten-egg smell. You’re under no obligation whatsoever. 

Culligan water treatment systems can completely remove the rotten-egg smell from your water

Culligan of Lexington has been servicing our lake drawn water system since 2013. This has included installing a new system in 2019 and routine maintenance. Ricky has always been available to answer questions and address problems immediately. If you are looking for a new water system or have questions about an existing system, I highly recommend Culligan of Lexington.
Ricky and his entire team are outstanding. Recently moving to the Beavercreek area, we discovered that we needed a water treatment system. My parents in Michigan had always used Culligan, and they were my first call. They came out, tested my water, diagnosed our needs and made sure everything was right! Ricky gave us a step-by-step instructions of what to do, how to do it, and what not to do. I would highly recommend Culligan of Lexington again and again and again!!
