When you run your tap and you detect a rotten egg smell, there are two steps you must take.
- Determining if the smell is from your drains or the water itself (99.9% of the time it is from your drains)
- Taking action to eliminate the source of the odor.
Steps to Determining Source of Rotten Egg Smell:
|
1.
|
Find a source of water that you know does not smell like rotten eggs. A good source of water is bottled water.
|
|
2.
|
Using the sink that you notice the rotten egg smell most from, pour the water from your odorless source into the drain of the sink.
|
|
3.
|
Put your nose close to the sink and smell.
|
|
4.
|
If you do NOT smell the rotten egg smell, then the issue is with the water itself.
|
|
5.
|
If you DO smell the rotten egg smell, then the issue is with sewer gas escaping from your drain when you turn the water on.
