Water traveling to its end destination, like faucet or shower head, can pick up smelly contaminants. Those contaminants are not visible but you certainly can smell them in the water. There are a few different ways of smelly water: rotten-egg odor, woody smell, a bleachy smell, a chemical or soapy smell. Bad smelling water could have many causes. Water containing a high level of iron on the other hand often tastes and appears unpleasant and can stain laundry and plumbing fixtures. Iron in water can cause yellow, red, or brown stains on laundry, dishes, and plumbing fixtures. In addition, iron can clog wells, pumps, sprinklers, and other devices such as dishwashers, which can lead to costly repairs. Iron can also promote the growth of "iron bacteria", resulting in slimy coating being deposited in the water distribution pipes. Our water specialists at Canadian Water Inspection Services, can identify the any problem you have and provide you with an effective and efficient solution for your water supply.
