[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here. I am not really sure If the house uses well water. I have checked under the sink and there isn't any leaks. The smell definitely comes from the faucet after water has been running for 30 seconds and it dissipates after a couple of minutes.

Would you please recommend a plumber? How much do they usually charge? [/quote]
If you really don't know if you have well water or municipal water, it might be worth having a plumber come out to teach you some things about your house. I just can't imagine you'd be on well water and not know about it so chances are, you are on municipal water which is treated city water and shouldn't have any smell. The other option is if it's only the hot water that smells. Sometimes, the hot water heater can make the water smell very strange. If you only smell it while you are running hot or warm water, then you might want to have your hot water heater checked out. The plumber can do that for you as well.[/quote]
+1 to having a plumber come in to show you the basics.

I had a plumber come to snake my kitchen sink once and asked what the best way to avoid clogged drains is.
He suggested enzyme clog clearer monthly and also filling each sink with hot water and then draining weekly to flush the drains.
It's also not a bad idea to know how to clean a trap--it can be a little stinky/dirty, but it's not hard and takes less time than you might wait around for a plumber.[/quote]
