I have a small triplex in San Francisco. I the basement unit had a back up with the toilet. It happened twice in 2 weeks. I had the the toilet snaked and a camera inspection from the street side toward the back of the house. The plumber is recommending a replacement of my sewer lateral. He wanted to replace 50 feet of the sewer and do further inspections when he has better access to the sewer after he opens it up. He said that he had trouble running a camera further because he could not maneuver his camera to go the direction he wanted it to go. He also said that I had bellies that needed to be fixed. Let me know what you think. Here are some interesting points of the camera inspection. I do not want to replace the sewer but I will if I have to. Is this something I can just clean out or is a replacement needed?
Location - Things I see
18' - Pipe changes from big pipe to smaller pipe. It might be where the sidewalk pipe meets house sewer
34' - Build up. Not sure what. Intersect. Possible flat spot
40' - Intersect
42' - Possible flat spot
48'-50' - Build up and maybe a belly.
58' - Intersect and build up
60' -Build up and intersect
