Q: Does flushing a clogged toilet make it worse?

• <div><p>Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow&mdash;leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber&rsquo;s snake to dislodge the clog. </p></div>

Q: How do I keep my egress window from flooding?

• <div><p>Keep your egress window from flooding by ensuring that the drainage system in the window well is clear and in good working condition. Inspect the window well every few months to remove any blockages and test the drainage system. It&rsquo;s better to discover potential problems before your window well fills with water during heavy rain. </p></div>
