Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what might have caused the blockage. Common culprits include:

• Excessive toilet paper usage
• Flushing non-biodegradable items (e.g., sanitary products, wipes)
• Poor drainage maintenance
• Tree roots invading the sewer pipe

The first thing to do is to turn off the water supply to the toilet by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise. This will prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl and exacerbating the blockage.

A plunger is often the most effective tool for unblocking a toilet. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain hole, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times to try and dislodge the blockage.

If the plunger doesn't work, it's time to bring in the drain snake (auger). Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up any stubborn blockages.

If the above methods fail, you can try using chemical drain cleaners. However, be cautious when using these products, as they can damage pipes and harm skin.
