Best advice, use an old fashioned mop...the string ones
push it into bog pan gently then pump it up and down...you will generate massive hydraulic pressure....top tip keep your mouth closed when doing this

Lets entice him to buy a drain camera.
That will let him know what and where the blockage is.

If repeat blockages are occurring, a camera inspection is a must.
 
If it’s a repeat blockage, then you need to sort the problem out. Whether it’s drain related, svp related or even wc pan related.

As for tools just a drain rod with a 6” plunger works for me, easily cleanable. Clears most easy blockages.
 
Bluetooth digital drain rods are not always water resistant, recommend analogue rods if still available at your merchant.

Seriously tho, I'd check for :
- a flexi or similar misdemeanor behind the pan,
- Repeated bends immediately after the pan slowing the flow.
- Low volume flush not clearing the pan, it has been known for the half flush operation to be disabled in this case. (not by me, obvs.):D
