Your waste needs to go down the toilet when you flush it to keep your bathroom as sanitary as possible. Various things can impact your toilet and result in it getting backed up.

The waste from your toilet goes down your drains and connects to your sewer lines. If there is an issue somewhere further down the sewer line, that could eventually impact your toilet's ability to flush things effectively without having the waste return.  

Many things can damage your sewer line. For example, tree roots can get into your line and block the water flow. Or grease and fat deposits can build up and slowly reduce the capacity of your sewer lines over time. Or you could have a leak in the line that is damaging the pressure.  

In this situation, the sewer line would need to be inspected for damage and clogs, and then the appropriate repair method would be applied.  

Thing #2: Low-Flow Toilet

If you have a low-flow toilet, you may end up experiencing some backup issues. Many of the first low-flow toilets that were produced didn't have the right flushing power. This can cause the drains not to get cleaned properly when you flush. If you have an older low-flow toilet, you may run into this problem. The best way to solve this is to upgrade to a current-generation low-flow toilet, which is made more effective and has the flushing power to properly clear waste through your drains.  

Thing #3: Clogged Toilet Trap 

The toilet trap is the S-curve that you can see that connects your toilet to the drain. This S-curve is referred to as the trap or the toilet trap. This S-curve serves a specific purpose; it is made to keep sewage smells and gases from getting into your home.  

If the wrong things are flushed down your toilets, such as sanitary items, a comb, a toothbrush, or even a child's toy, they can get lodged in this S-curve and then cause debris to accumulate, eventually leading to a backed-up toilet. This can be solved by removing and cleaning the S-curve.  

Many things can lead to your toilets getting backed up, such as a sewer line issue, an old low-flow toilet, or a clogged S-curve toilet trap. A professional plumbing service in your area, such as Rob's Septic Tanks Inc, can figure out the cause of your backup and then apply the appropriate repair method.
