If you’ve ever turned on your hot water tap only to be greeted by that unmistakable rotten-egg smell, you’re experiencing one of the most common—and unpleasant—water heater issues we encounter in Montgomery County homes. This sulfurous odor comes from hydrogen sulfide gas produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria thriving inside your water heater tank at specific temperatures, typically between 90-140°F.

Water SoftenerSupplementalProfessional installation$800-2500

We’ve found that installing high-quality magnesium Corro-Protec anodes provides the best long-term solution without introducing new odors. Don’t settle for aluminum or zinc alternatives—they often create different smell problems! Meanwhile, regular sediment removal prevents bacteria from establishing colonies in your water heater’s cozy environment.

For electric water heaters, temporarily increasing the temperature to 160°F for several hours can kill odor-causing bacteria. Always remember to reduce the temperature afterward to prevent scalding risks. Municipal water supplies with chlorine typically have fewer bacteria issues than well water systems, which may require additional treatment methods.
