Why does my water smell like Sewage?

If your water smells like sewage it may  contain Methane Gas, Organic Matter, or you may have Septic Contamination. Methane Gas is produced by decaying organic matter and can form in pockets in the earths crust and find its way into your water. When the water exits the faucet the gas is released. Organic matter in many forms can find their way into your water and can produce undesired odors. Septic Contamination can occur when the water supply comes in contact with sewage. Perhaps the well is too close to a septic tank. Maybe a sewer plant overflows sending sewage downstream to be picked up by the water intake. In any case this would be a serious problem.  For help with this problem call us at 512-756-7710 or email us at [email protected]
