Yes have someone run a camera down the drain BEFORE you start busting anything up. That is too long a time period for it to be causing a problem NOW.

i lived there for two years, never had an issue. renters moved in 6 years ago and are saying it's gotten progressively worse. i'm hoping to avoid having the place busted up over this issue.

That is why you MUST find out the 'real' reason for the problem before you go off charging at windmills.
