For working in sinks, lavatories and tubs you want to use the cup plunger (seen above).
First, if this is a lavatory sink, seal the sink overflow outlet found at the top of the sink bowl. Use a piece of duct tape or a wet rag or washcloth stuffed into the holes.
If a kitchen sink or similar, remove the basket strainer.
If a lavatory sink, remove the drain stopper from the sink. Try lifting it out or turning and lifting.
Fill the sink bowl halfway with water.
Place the cup plunger over the drain hole and make sure it has a good seal against the sink surface.
Using quick, sharp plunges, attempt to clear the obstruction with the plunger and check for drainage.
Once cleared, remove the overflow outlet seal and replace the drain stopper or sink basket.
If the clog did not clear, please contact the Maintenance Department.
Water leaking from drain or faucet Contact the Maintenance Department. Immediately.
