Plumbing

These problems are the responsibility of the unit owner. Keep a plunger in your unit. Know where all the shut-off valves are located.

Your unit valves are generally located in the vanity cabinet of your bathroom. Please familiarize yourself with the location of these shut off valves. Ensure that these shut off valves are always accessible. If you are doing any plumbing modifications, please remember that PVC piping is not permitted. Make sure you turn hot and cold-water valves off when leaving your home for an extended period of time.

To avoid possible water damage to the floor below, spills should be mopped up immediately and leaks repaired promptly. Should your taps be leaking, we urge you to repair them immediately as wasted water will increase our utility consumption and cost extra money. Should you experience a toilet overflow or leak of any kind, or if you see water entering your unit, we ask that you contact Property Management immediately. This way damage can be kept to a minimum.

The newer 6L Low-Consumption Gravity Tank toilets have a redesigned bowl to enhance the siphoning action, which serves to pull the water out of the bowl. It reduces the need for water since it doesn't rely on just gravity to complete the flush. Water is forced through a trap, which curves down, then up like an elbow. Water fills it to keep gases from entering the house.
