But glad to see him and his wife came to an unbiased conclusion and found you are at least part to blame.

Sometimes you just need a camera and an experienced plumber, though.Paul, tree roots can be from trees over 30 feet from the sewer line, the roots search out water supply and will enter the pipes and literally stop the flow of everything inside, there are many methods of cleaning the interior of a sewer line, one I liked a lot is the high pressure water cleaning, scaling is not the problem I changed a main sewer line for a customer after the cast iron was broken and literally stopped all flow of the line, this is an extreme case, one that I never encountered in over 24 years of being involved in the industry of housing and construction, many will try to sell you a big repair in order to make a big dollar, personally I would want to do a complete video inspection showing the entire run all the way out to the street main, I would want to be present and take pictures then if want to post the pictures I can better understand the exact nature of the problem and give a professional unbiased opinion, I have seen it all in my industry, one part of me is almost jealous of the companies that sell people big ticket items when in fact it is factually unwarranted but I am not in the business of stealing peoples hard earned money under false pretenses.

@Charlie MacPhersonAlso, I totally agree with you about not being able to handle both sides in an unbiased manner.
