Small habits = fewer clogs, leaks, and maintenance calls!
β

β
DO keep grease & food scraps out of the kitchen sink
β
DO use a shower drain strainer to catch hair
β
DO report leaks and running toilets ASAP
β
DO watch for warning signs: slow drains, weird odors/sounds, low water pressure
β DON'T flush anything just because it fits
β DON'T ignore a slow drain β it's an early warning
β DON'T hang stuff from pipes under the sink
β DON'T DIY major plumbing repairs β leave it to the pros
π‘ A little everyday care keeps your pipes flowing and your maintenance requests to a minimum. Take care of your apartment, and it'll take care of you! π‘π§
