How Can I Prevent a Clogged Sink?
Above all, be mindful of what goes down your drain. Don’t put grease, coffee grounds, flour, produce stickers, cooking oil—or anything but soap and water really—down it. Food waste and other debris can lodge in drainpipe bends, where it builds up and forms blockages.
Here are a few more tips to prevent kitchen sink clogs:
Here are a few more tips to prevent kitchen sink clogs:

Why Won't My Toilet Stop Running?
The issue is likely your flapper. Either it's stuck, or it's worn-down and needs to be replaced.
If there is too much water in the tank, overflowing water may also leak into the toilet bowl through the overflow tube. By adjusting the float’s height, you can lower the water level, which will solve the problem.
A running toilet can also be due to a refill tube that’s too long. Shortening the tube will eliminate the suction effect, which pulls water from the fill valve.

How Long Does a Water Heater Last?
The average life expectancy of a storage-tank water heater is between 8 and 12 years. Generally speaking, tankless water heaters have a longer functional lifespan than conventional storage tank systems. A high-end tankless system can last for twenty years or longer.
Your water heater will have a better chance of surviving until the longer end of that spectrum if you have it maintained and repaired regularly. Consider replacing your old water heater if:

Your water heater might have accumulated too much sediment. In this case, you need to have it drained. You might even need to schedule water heater repairs.
If the water coming from your taps and main water line is murky, it may be contaminated. Possible pollutants of residential drinking water include:
