  1. You might have to call a professional out because it would be very hard to find it by your self


  2. Actually, that's hydrogen sulflide you're smelling.  Sulfuric acid would be more of a burning-your-nose "smell" and making your eyes water, if anything.  They're somewhat similar in that they both have sulfur in them, but the properties are quite different.

    Have you tried tracking down the source or asking anyone around you if they know anything?  That's going to be the first question anyone you'd call to do something about it will want to know -- what kind of source is it?  You might be able to get someone out there to look at it if you don't know what's even causing this, but it'll probably be a lot more expensive and a hassle if they have to figure out where to look first.  Do what you easily can yourself first.
