What Could Be Wrong with My Water?

Different smells indicate different possible problems. 

• A musty smell might indicate that decaying organic matter is in your well or drain. 
• A bleach or chemical smell could indicate too much or improperly added chlorine.
• A rotten egg or sewage odor can mean there are bacteria growing in the drain, well, or water heater.
• Other odors could indicate septic tank leakage or run-off contaminating your water supply.
  

Why Should I Get My Water Tested?

Water testing gives you specific information about the current state of your well system. If there are any dangerous contaminants in your well water, a water test will help you find which one is present. Then, you can make a plan to filter and clean your water. Smelly water is not only distasteful to drink, but can indicate a problem with your water that could make you and your family sick if left untreated. Even without obvious issues with your water’s taste or smell, you should test your well water annually.

When Should I Hire a Professional?

If your water smells bad, it is time to contact an expert. They can not only accurately diagnose the issue but come up with an effective plan to fix it. By catching the problem early and treating it correctly the first time, you will save time and money in the future. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind that your water is safe to drink.
