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 Mast Family Culligan of Sebring

Why Does My Water Smell Like Rotten Eggs in Sebring Area?

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.

What our clients say

There’s a reason Mast Family Culligan of Sebring is the best water treatment company in Sebring Area.

We started off with Culligan a few years back. We made the terrible decision to try out a different company. Worst decision. We were welcomed back to Culligan with nothing but positivity. ☺️ My husband interacted with the tech today who reinstalled and said that Glenn was great. He showed up early and needed very little from us. He said Glenn was very clean and friendly and got our water back to the way it should be. Also, quoting my husband," for Glenn's level of professionalism a raise should definitely be in his future".We would definitely recommend to anyone having water trouble!
Culligan has truly gone above and beyond with their customer service. From the very beginning, they have been professional, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure all of my needs were met. Toby has been absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer every question, explain everything clearly, and made sure my water was exactly the way I wanted it. It’s rare to find customer service this dedicated and personal anymore. I highly recommend Culligan, and especially Toby, for anyone wanting amazing service and perfect water!
We had a great experience from start to finish. The main issue we were dealing with was how terrible our water smelled. It was honestly embarrassing and frustrating. Toby came out to test the water and was extremely thorough. He took the time to explain what was going on and what needed to be done to fix it.The very next day, they had equipment installed, which really impressed us. Glenn handled the installation and was incredibly knowledgeable. He made the entire setup look clean and professional, and you could tell he takes pride in his work.We’re beyond excited to finally have clean, fresh-smelling water. The difference is night and day. Highly recommend this team if you’re dealing with water issues!
Pipe burst. Called emergency after hours. 8:15 am a technician showed up and repaired the break by 9:00 am. He was very nice & knowledgeable. Only problem was calling the after hour number the mail box was not set up so couldn’t leave a message. I couldn’t reach the on call person until 7:00 am but he was very nice and got everything scheduled. I did bring it to the attention of the office that the mailbox was not set up.
Brian initially came out to test our water and suggested a treatment system for our well water. He sold us exactly what we needed, no more no less. After six years we needed our filter refurbished, they sent out a very nice young man named John, he took our filter back to the shop cleaned it, filled it and brought it back the next day. Great guys really good water. Thanks guys
We contacted Culligan because we had no water and they were at our house within an hour. I would recommend this company. The office staff, technicians and service manger are all fantastic.
Love them ! Ive been with Culligan like forever!
Mid week before Thanksgiving this year we decided we wanted our water tested and an estimate for whatever system they would suggest for us. This was Friday before Thanksgiving. My husband set up an appt on line for following Monday, he got a text and email confirming the appt and Toby the salesperson/ estimator/ and guy that answered all of our questions and concerns came out right on time. After prob an hour of us questioning him and him explaining everything we agreed to a water softener system. He set up an install for Tues,next day, for the install. Tues morning Glen showed up for the install with everything he needed to complete the job! Glen was done in a timely, tidy, professional manner.I would highly recommend both of these men if you are having yucky water issues. They were both very professional but down to earth and knew they are talking about and doing. I Highly recommend their service. Oh, we also got the salt service and I will also be leaving a review for the guys providing that service.Almost forgot that Toby also came the day before Thanksgiving to see how things were going and if we were satisfied so far.
Wonderful experience. Quick and friendly staff. A pleasure to do business with. And, the water is great.
I just wanted to give a shout out for Toby Solebello Culligan Representative . Toby came to our home and help us set up a system for our water softening and drinking. He has always been available afterwards to answer any questions that we had. Also, I have referred several people to Toby and each person has spoken highly of him and that they are pleased with their systems as well.
5 star customer service…when you call they respond and go above and beyond.
No better water treatment in the area!
Culligan Water exceeded my expectations! Toby was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, guiding me to the perfect water system for my home. Since making the switch, my water quality has been flawless. The entire process was seamless, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend Culligan Water and working with Toby!
Exemplary customer service! We've had the best experience. Highly recommend their service!
Culligan saved us! We moved into a house with a well, and we had sulfur in our water. The smell was unbearable! We called Toby and he was out here the next day to address our concerns and answer any questions we had. We were set up VERY quickly with our water system, including a reverse osmosis drinking water system. They work seamlessly as a team to ensure our system is running smoothly, and we have such peace of mind after working with them. I strongly recommend their services to everyone!
Best water treatment ever! Toby was with us throughout the entire process. The installer did a fantastic job. Quick, efficient, and did an excellent installment! And NOW our water is drinkable again! Highly recommend the Mast Family Culligan people! Thank You Culligan Sebring!
We purchased a new system (both softener and reverse osmosis). Our old system was end-of-life and the company was out-of-town. TheCulligan salesperson (Toby) was wonderful. Answered all our questions and returned after installation to make sure we were satisfied. The installers were terrific. Friendly and professional. Kudos to this group and so glad you have a presence in Sebring. Donna the receptionist was so sweet and interested in our needs. Call me “impressed”!
Water specialist Toby came to my home for a consultation on a solution for our foul-smelling/bad tasting well water and recommended the right product for us. Very courteous and professional. Quick responses to all my questions. The whole home water system was installed today, and immediately, there is a night and day difference in water quality and smell. Thank you, Culligan!
Your people are nice and very very very very proud to have them John 918 Grand Ave Sebring Florida Apt 3
