Paul,
Sorry to hear that.
Several winters ago, the main sewer line clogged and
we had a backhoe in the front window digging it out.
You sure a creative plumber can't find an easier alternative -
think like a heart surgeon with a camera and router taking out plaque.

Thanks Bob. I think it's possible that some improvement could be effected by 
snaking out as may of the tiles as possible, but I don't think it would be a 
permanent fix. Once they're damaged by tree roots and the like, they clog again 
in a hurry. Maybe I'll try to get a second opinion, but I'm so tired of 
fighting the water down there that i look forward to a complete fix. The 
excavation, new drains and sump pump come with a no-water lifetime guarantee.

Good luck with that. It is often so much better to just do it the right way, rather than cobbling together an expedient fix. I seem to have spent most of the past several years straightening out decades of expedient fixes on the Temple of deferred maintenance.
