    Object blocked in the toilet
    I believe and been told an object is lodged in pipes at a 90° turning point. Got flushed 6-7 months ago and now causing a backup.Ran a snake and toilet still blocked so removed the toilet and attempted to snake through. Total blockage, what now?

    Maybe nothing. What is allegedly blocking the pipe? Cast iron pipe? PVC, ABS?

    What is object that is blocking the line?

    Need a snake with a cutting head.

    It might be a good idea to get a professional company to do this.

    Almost all professions will never advise you to pour anything into a drain to clean it.

    It is dangerous, seldom does any good and only causes issues when you latter have to clean it out.

    Proper method is to use a toilet snake if it is still in toilet, or if in further in pipes use clean out ports or take toilet out and snake from there.

    Also if this is a solid object like a toy or something, normally chemical have no effect

    Ok, what type of object, makes a difference.

    Is there a basement or crawl space under bathroom ?

    What type of snake ?

    It might be time to call in professionals. If it's beyond your ability at this point, give it up and hand it over to someone that has the experience with it.

    Right, do not use chemicals, you are well beyond that. Is the whole house blocked up? Do you see a 90 elbow in your drain, I never see 90s. Are there clean outs, back to you
