Rotten Egg Smell in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Rotten Egg Smell in the Water Supply of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Florida Homes

A rotten egg smell at the tap can turn simple things — showering after a day on the beach, washing clothes, or cooking — into an unpleasant chore. Often called a sulfur smell, it may appear in cold or hot water and can come from hydrogen sulfide gas, sulfur-reducing bacteria, or reactions inside a water heater. Even with clear water, the odor can cling to skin, hair and linens and fill rooms when you run faucets in your Lauderdale-by-the-Sea home.

Because the source of the smell varies, treating the root cause is better than covering it up with scented products. Odors sometimes become strongest after water sits in pipes or when you first turn on a tap, and they can be linked to private wells or naturally occurring sulfur compounds that change over time. A whole-home solution stops that rotten egg smell from traveling through plumbing to every faucet in your Broward County house, whether you live near Anglin’s Fishing Pier or in Terra Mar Island.
