Foreign Objects

Objects like toys, pens, and phones can fall into the toilet and cause blockages. It's essential to keep these items away from the toilet.

Old Plumbing

Old plumbing can become blocked over time. Sometimes, you may need to update your plumbing to prevent future blockages.

Using A Plunger

If you notice that your toilet is blocked, try using a plunger to unblock it. Plungers are designed to provide suction and pressure to help break up a blockage. Here's how to use a plunger.

1. Place the plunger head over the toilet bowl's hole, ensuring a tight seal.

2. Begin to plunge the toilet downward and upward several times until there's a suction sound.

3. After the suction sound, flush the toilet to check whether you've successfully cleared the blockage. If the toilet is still blocked, repeat the process.
