Preventing clogged drains is easy, and many of the items required to do so are available for free in the U-Fix-It (notated with a *).
Kitchen Sinks
- Use Basket Strainers* in the non-garbage disposal side at all times.
- Pick up a Garbage Disposal Plug*
Toilets
- If it isn’t toilet paper, don’t flush it!
- Ensure you have at least 1 sink plunger and 1 toilet plunger.
- Know where the water shut-off valve is located! And how to use it (turn right to shut off water).
- Note: If your shut off doesn’t have a handle, pick up a Water Shut Off Key* at the U-Fix-It!
Shower/Tub drains
- Pick up a Hair Snare (Drain Guard)* from the U-Fix-It
- Pick up a Zip-It* from the U-Fix-It.
Bathroom Sinks
- If your Sink Stopper* is broken, bring it in for a 1 for 1 replacement at the U-Fix-It.
Laundry Room Sinks
- Pick up a Hair Snare (Drain Guard)* from the U-Fix-It
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, schedule an appointment with a maintenance technician.
