One clog is an accident. A toilet that needs the plunger every week is telling you something about the toilet itself, what's going into it, or the line it drains into.

Early low-flow toilets, mineral-clogged rim jets from Colorado's hard water, or a tank that doesn't fill fully all reduce flushing force. If water swirls weakly or the bowl drains slowly before refilling, the toilet itself may be the problem.
A small object caught in the toilet's internal bend lets water pass but catches paper every time. Sudden, frequent clogs in a toilet that used to work fine often point here.
Toilets move the most solid waste, so they show main line trouble first. Watch for gurgling in the tub when you flush, water rising in the shower, or slow drains elsewhere. Those are signs of a clogged main line, often from roots or buildup.
We check whether the clog is in the toilet or past it. If it's in the line, we clear it and, for repeat problems, run a camera inspection to see roots, a sag, or buildup. Many recurring toilet clogs end with main sewer line cleaning. More in why drains keep clogging.

Very often. So-called flushable wipes don't break down like toilet paper. They snag in the toilet's trapway or further down the line and catch everything that follows.
Older low-flow models from the 1990s often lacked the flushing power to carry waste far enough. Waste settles in the horizontal line and builds up. Newer high-efficiency toilets perform much better.
Yes, if the toilet clogs and other drains are slow, or if water rises in the tub when you flush. The toilet is often the first fixture to show a main line restriction.
Stop flushing. Toys, toothbrushes, and phones lodge in the trapway; plunging can push them deeper into the line. The toilet may need to be pulled to retrieve it.
