Plumber in Merrylands.
Dense post-war housing and unit blocks around a busy centre, with a high rate of secondary dwellings squeezed onto original blocks.
What we see in Merrylands.
Merrylands has one of the highest rates of secondary dwellings in Sydney. Two households frequently share drainage sized for one, which is the root cause of most chronic blockages here.
Original galvanised supply is common, showing up as poor pressure and rust-coloured water first thing in the morning rather than as a visible leak.
The older flats around the centre share stacks and risers between units, so leaks present in a different apartment to the one with the fault.

Asked in Merrylands.
Because the original sewer line was sized and graded for a single dwelling, and now carries two. If the secondary dwelling was teed into the nearest available point rather than given a properly assessed junction, you get marginal fall and a line running closer to capacity than it was designed for — so anything that would once have passed through now catches. A camera survey confirms it, and the fix is usually a correctly graded junction rather than repeatedly clearing the line.
