Plumbing

Problems may occur if the sink, commode, or bathtub is used improperly. It is highly recommended to avoid clogs, slow drainage and/or damage, to follow these basic rules of use:

• DO NOT flush sanitary wipes, baby wipes, and/or flushable wipes.
• DO NOT flush feminine hygiene products (regardless if it is dissolvable).
• DO NOT flush items other than toilet paper and bodily waste/fluids.
• DO NOT place large food particles/items in the garbage disposal.
• DO NOT use the garbage disposal without running water at the same time.
• DO NOT place non-food items in the garbage disposal.
• DO NOT place large amounts of food in the disposal. Scrap plates into trash first.
• DO NOT pour grease, oil, sand, dirt or rocks down any drain or toilet.
• DO NOT empty fish tank gravel down sink/tub drains or the toilet.
• DO NOT use bowl coloring and cleaning agents (such as TidyBowl).
• DO NOT use dish washing liquid in the dishwasher; use dish detergent.
• DO NOT continue to flush a toilet which is already clogged.
• DO NOT attempt to administer your own plumbing solution outside of a plunger.
• DO NOT use bleach alone for smell abatement in drains. You should use mostly hot water with a small amount of bleach.

If your sink, tub, or toilet becomes clogged and you are not able to “clear” the problem, please report the issue using the Eagle CMMS work order portal. Any plumbing issue found where there was vandalism, neglect, or misuse may incur a charge. Please dispose of trash related items in your waste cans as the drains in your apartment are not substitutes for bulk waste removal.
