Before water enters your home, it can pick up bad-smelling contaminants — from the soil around private wells, miles of underground utility pipes or even your local municipal water source.
Many municipalities add chlorine to offset the problems caused by these contaminants, but this can make your water smell even worse.
Common smelly water problems include:
- A rotten-egg odor due to hydrogen sulfide in the soil near your well
- A musty, woody smell due to organic contaminants like algae or total dissolved solids (TDS)
- A bleach-like smell due to the addition of chlorine
- A soapy or chemical smell due to contaminated private wells
