If you have noticed a rank odor emitting from your faucet, it is time for a plumbing repair. It is common to assume that these odors are normal, that they will disappear eventually, or that it really isn’t a huge problem. This is most likely not the case. We can help you to resolve your plumbing problem before it turns into a bigger issue that requires urgent assistance. The bad odor you smell may be coming from your faucet. Your faucet is an important place to keep in tip-top condition because it is the source of water for your daily needs including food preparation, cleaning, and even drinking. The quality of your water source is not a trivial matter, and normally it can be fixed with our help through a minor plumbing repair. We recommend that you don’t risk your health by waiting to get the repair done. The stench is often created by the decomposition of waste materials.  This waste can be found in public and private sewer systems and private septic systems. These odors may originate from organic matter, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products caught and built up in your system, creating a sewage like or sulfurous smell. Sometimes collected sludge in your water heater may be the culprit. Not only do these problems stink, they can also be the cause of dangerous bacterial growth. In these cases, we can easily help you flush out your system to provide a better overall water quality. If your water source is from a well, however, stinky water may be the result of contamination from surface runoff, incorrectly located septic systems, or leaky well pumps and pipes. All of these issues can also cause harmful bacterial growth, something that we can identify while performing a plumbing repair. Sometimes the issue comes from something as simple as a dry or broken plumbing drain pipe or a crack in the plumbing drain lines or vent pipes. Another reason may be the blockage of plumbing vent pipes. Leaves and many other types of debris can clog these pipes fairly easily. When a vent pipe is clogged, the air needed when you flush or drain a pipe will be sucked into the pipes through another fixture in your home, bringing ugly smells into your living quarters.
