    Odor in bathroom
    Hello, I have an egg type odor in my bathroom, it's faint enough that my husband does not smell it, but I do. It's a new construction home, and we have a septic/well. I think it's coming from the sink. Do you know what might be causing this and what I can do about it? :) Thank you very much, Kathy

    Sounds like you may have sulfur in your water. Sulfur smells a lot like eggs but it is harmless. I'm not sure what you can do about it but I'm pretty sure this is what is causing the smell; hopefully someone else will have some suggestions for you!

    If it was sulpher, wouldn't this odor be present elsewhere in the house? Thank you
