Common Maintenance Fixes
How do I reset a circuit breaker?
- Too many appliances on one circuit.
- Adding an additional appliance, computer, air conditioner or other appliance to an overloaded
- Defective appliance or worn appliance
A power failure in one section of a unit is often the result of a tripped circuit breaker. Tenants are asked to locate the cause of the power failure before returning the circuit breaker to the ON position. First, push all switches to the OFF position, and wait a few moments. Second, switch them back to the ON position. If power is not restored by resetting the circuit breaker or unplugging defective appliances, please report the maintenance issue by either calling or emailing the Management office or logging the issue into IMPAK.
How do I unclog a toilet?
One of the most common household problems we all face from time to time is the clogged toilet. Fortunately most clogs can be fixed by using the correct type of plunger.
Do Not Use the Cup Plunger for Toilet
There are two basic types of plungers. The “cup” plunger and the “flange” type plunger. The cup plunger is designed for creating a seal against a flat surface such as the bottom of a sink or bathtub. Toilets however have a bowl shape and cup plungers don’t work because they lose their seal when you pull up. For use with toilets, you need the Flange Plunger.
The Right Tool: Flange Plunger
The special bowl shape of a toilet requires a special plunger shape. And that shape is reflected in the flange plunger or a similar one called a ball plunger. Both these plungers have a specially shaped bottom designed to seal the opening in the bottom of a toilet bowl and maintain the required vacuum and pressure during the plunging action.
How to Plunge
Once you see that the toilet is draining slowly or is stopped up, do not flush it again. It’s time to use the flange plunger. Gently push the plunger through the water allowing air to escape from the plunger body. Once the plunger is sealed around the drain outlet in the bottom of the bowl, plunge up and down rapidly until the clog is broken and the water level seems to drop.
Test for Drainage
You want to test and see if the toilet will drain once you think you’ve cleared the clog, but don’t do this by flushing the toilet again until you’re sure the clog is removed. To test for drainage you have to add water. This can be done one of two ways.
The first way is to slowly pour water into the toilet as from a bucket. The second way is to open the toilet tank lid and SLOWLY lift the flapper seal at the bottom of the tank until water begins to enter the bowl. Do not lift the flapper all the way up or else the toilet will flush.
If water goes down the toilet easily, the clog is cleared. If not, then try again by repeating the previous step and this step a time or two more. If repeated attempts to clear the clog fail, please call our Management Office at 802-861-7778.
