Poor toilet design

Sometimes, the toilet itself may be responsible for blockages. Poorly designed toilets may not have enough flushing capacity or may have narrow pipes that are easily clogged.

Tree roots

Tree roots can grow into drainpipes and cause blockages, especially in older constructions with clay pipes.

Foreign objects

Small objects such as toys, cell phones, and jewelry can accidentally fall into the toilet and cause blockages.

How to Unblock a Toilet

Unblocking a toilet can be a simple process, depending on the cause of the blockage. Here are some steps you can take to unblock your toilet:

Use a Plunger

A plunger is a simple tool that can help with most toilet blockages. Place the plunger over the toilet bowl hole, and push and pull vigorously. This can create suction that helps to loosen the blockage.

Use Hot Water and Dish Soap

Adding hot water and dish soap to the toilet bowl can help to break down the blockage. Let the solution sit for a few minutes before flushing.
