Default Toilet problem

I have tried to pour boiling water into the bowl in the hopes of it
helping to break up the clog while I was using the plunger to break
the clog. However, I have heard some cracking sound near the toilet as
I flush the boiling water down the drain. I don't see any water
dripping down the pipe in the unfinished basement, but I'm still quite
concerned that I have broken something. Can someone give guidance on
what might happen in this case?


The crack may be so fine that you can't see it and water won't leak yet.
Now, normal expansion and contraction may enlarge the crack so that it
will leak in the future. The worse that could happen is that it could
split in half while you are sitting on it.



LOL! That could be worth some bucks on one of those TV shows. Keep a 24x7
loop camera on it.
