Please study how to prevent blockages and what to do if it happens so that you can prevent it and solve the problem. If it still remains blocked after your attempts, please request assistance on the dormitory website by going to "My maintenance requests".
How to prevent toilet blockage
Shin-gwan's toilets are economical on water, so they use little water and the pipe only has a diameter of 50cm, so the toilets cannot handle a lot of toilet paper.
Precautions when using the toilet
1) Please use toilet paper which will break up in water well.
2) Please do not put wooden chopsticks, feminine hygiene products, pens, etc. in the toilet.
3) If the toilet is blocked, don't flush it any more, use the plunger, then after the water has gone, flush.
In Shin-gwan, there is a room for storing cleaning equipment by the elevator on every floor. You can find the plunger here. In other buildings, the toilets or bathrooms have plungers.
What to do when the toilet is blocked
1) Put the plunger into the toilet, making a tight seal around the opening to the outflow pipe.
2) The middle section of the plunger should be in line with the base to ensure maximum pressure..
3) Put pressure on the handle of the plunger, and pump 5 times in 3 seconds.. After the fifth pump, pull the plunger out with vigour.
4) Repeat until the water flows away as normal.
5) After solving the problem, please rinse the plunger and replace it where you found it for the next user..
