Our dirt here has a lot of clay in it, so it had stuck itself pretty good to the main drain wall, and gave an area for everything else to get stuck too. Once they got it out, we haven't had any issues.

Yes actually and the thought did go through my mind. I redid all my bathrooms a little over a year ago and I know that my back guest bathroom, no one ever uses it, got a bunch of stuff down the drain both from getting the shower pan replaced and from not having the drain from where the toilet goes properly covered while redoing everything.

It's costing me $500 to have the video camera put down the pipe but tis way I'll know for sure what's up. I've had trouble with this pipe since buying this house and have had to have it cleaned out ever few years or so but it seems like the problem got worse this last year.

I hope it ends up something simple. We had issues too since we moved in, and this last time we found we had cleanouts in the back of the house we didn't know we had (the owner had coffee cans over them, buried in the patio slab. We took them off, gee cleanouts) so they ran the snake from the back towards the front and we haven't had any issues since then.

I think the dirt from the bathroom remodel, plus we probably have had a partial clog back by the back cleanout since we moved in. (Guy had a 75' snake, and from our back cleanout to the front cleanout, it barely reaches, so no way they ever got back where the plug appeared to be, before, because the lamer that came the two times before only had a 50' snake, snaking form the front)

One thing we did find out, our main line goes to the back of our house, under our patio slab, then under our storage addition, and NOT under our new kitchen and bathroom floors which is really nice. An odd way to run it, but if we ever had to dig it up, at least we would not have dig up the middle of the house. I really hope that yours ends up something simple too and not broken pipes.
