A blockage is caused by an obstruction to the flow of sewage in the pipe. There a total stoppage when nothing will flow away, or a partial stoppage e sewage flows away very slowly.

When a blockage does occur, it is generally found that:

Some foreign object has mysteriously entered the drain. Children are offenders when it comes to poking foreign objects down drains.

Tree roots have entered the drain through a crack or failed joint due to id settlement, or badly aligned pipes have a lip obstruction that snags material in wage flow. When this happens the pipes soon fill, and foul water out of the drain at the lowest inlet. This is usually at the gully trap t to the sewer connection or at the fresh air inlet (FAI) when one is installed.

That drains are partially blocked may become evident when the toilet bowl fills to a higher level than normal after being flushed, or when air is seen or heard bubbling back through the water seal.
