In an apartment block, one blocked pipe can affect several units. If your shower or sink drains slowly and your neighbours have the same problem, the blockage may be in a shared line. Tell the building manager or body corporate, and tell the plumber you live in a unit. In a house, an overflowing gully outside usually means the blockage is further down the line.
