Toilet problem

That must have been a big clog. Don't ever ask to use my flusher.

Well if the bowl cracked someplace out of view like around its trap or horn you know that can't be good. Keep an eye on on things in the basement where the pipe goes up through the floor. Make sure wood is staying bone dry. Remember, water may only leak when it flushes.

It probably would take an awful lot of it but boiling water isn't the best thing for a wax seal I bet.

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.

Install a new toilet would probably be the best solution.

The noise was probably just the plumbing shifting.

I poured very hot (not boiling) water into a toilet once. The beeswax ring that seals the toilet base to the waste pipe flange melted and it rained in the room below.

My advice: don't pour hot water into the toilet.

Never put hot water into a toilet! You will have to replace the cracked bowl.

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

Your bigger problem is melting wax that is use for seal under the bowl you need rotor router a plumber to line and not the toilet bowl Tony
