How Do Clogged Toilets Happen?
There are two main causes of clogged toilets, and they are:
Simple Clogs:
Simple clogs are usually started when usual bathroom-related items are flushed down, such as too much toilet paper or non-water soluble items, like diapers and various hygienic items.
Foreign Object Clogs:
This category of clog happens when an item that is non-flushable falls into the toilet and becomes stuck within the pipes. Some foreign objects that are frequently lodged in toilet pipes are toothbrushes, shampoo bottles, toys, and even cell phones.
