Unusual Odors from Water Heater
Unusual Odors from Water Heaters in Northwest Houston
Are you wondering what is causing unusual odors from your water heater? There are a couple of reasons why water may have an unpleasant smell. If the water from your water heater smells like rotten eggs, it may be creating a sulfur bacteria to grow in the warm water. The water heater also can maintain a chemical reaction between sulfate in the stored water and the hot water heater anode component. Heated water can make surfaces of the water heater tank to rust or corrode, which also can influence the smell, taste and appearance of the water from your hot water taps.
