My insurance company is of NO help right now and I've called to schedule work to be done but the wait for that is still days away

I have googled, youtubed self fix videos, gone on home repair forums and I don't understand them at all!!
If there is any kind soul on the board who is HVAC/Plumbing savvy and can help me via the phone/pm here/email me/leave links on the thread/smoke signals--anything!! on how to try and remedy some issues--PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know!!!
I appreciate any help/advice/counseling/valium <(hehe)/magic in a bottle that can help me fix these issues!!!
Thanks all
