The disposal in the house (7 years old) will turn on with the switch but the to portion is not moving and chewing anything up. I am in need of someone to look at it and estimate a repair.

There is an object stuck in the toilet causing it to overflow. The toilet needs to be removed and the object needs to be taken out.

Plumbing leaks in your household can range from simple leaks that are a mere nuisance, to large leaks that can flood your home. To fix a leak, you first have to determine what kind of a leak it is. The leak can be located either on the pipe or at a joint. If you have a leak in the pipe, it's better to replace the entire section of the pipe, instead of merely patching the leak. Pipe leaks often occur when the pipe is corroded, and a corroded pipe can quickly begin to leak in more than one place. If the leak is at a joint, you can stop the leak by merely tightening the joint.
There are several methods you can use to stop a leak till plumbing help arrives. Use epoxy paste to stop the leak, or buy a patch kit from your local hardware store. You can also use a water proof tape wrapping around the leak to temporarily fix the leak. Special compound sticks that have to be rubbed over the hole to stop the leak can work on small leak problems.
Professional plumbers have more advanced methods for leak detection and repairs. For instance, if you notice wet patches on your ceilings or walls, you can assume that there is a plumbing leak. In such cases, only a professional can undertake leak detection and repair to eliminate the problem at the source.
