If your toilet happens to be clogged, the water level in the toilet is low, and a plunger is not doing the trick, you may be able to resolve the problem by pouring a bucket of warm water into the toilet from waist level or higher. Do this every time the water level dips back down again.

Check the floor for any give in order to be sure that there is no damage in the toilet to determine floor damage. You could save a lot if you catch these issue sooner.

Don't put fat, grease or fat into your drain. This is especially damaging to garbage disposals because the fat can make the blades go slower and less freely. Make certain you dispose of all oils away from the sink.
