Blocked toilets can have a variety of causes, which is why it's important to have a professional assess the situation. Some of the most common causes of blocked toilets include:

• Flushing inappropriate items: Toilets are designed to flush certain materials. Flushing anything else, such as feminine hygiene products or wipes, can cause blockages.
• Hard water: If you live in an area with hard water, minerals can build up in your pipes, leading to blockages.
• Tree roots: Roots from nearby trees can grow into your pipes, causing blockages and damage.
• Aging pipes: Pipes can deteriorate over time, leading to blockages and leaks.
