New house has a deflection on the sewer line from the S curvey pipe to the long straight out to the sewer. Only backing water and inch or two but is also draining into area around the disconnect. I was told likely not glued or bad glue when house built. (03)

It's 10 foot down near back right corner of front yard. Seems to be clear of sprinkler/tree if a long tiered trench was dug going to front left corner. (Vs cost of a trench wall)

Apex plumbing quoted job at 3k. Looking to do better. I do have someone local that does it for a living that would supervise my doing it myself, but I'd still prefer to pay someone else. (Only 1850 from home seller so far, trying to get them closer to that 3k.)

There are companies that do trenchless. They pull the new line through the old line. Always seemed like a great idea to me.

But unfortunately that won't fix the sag in the line.
I did underground utilities for many years also did services off of main lines. Tbh 3k is a good price for the amount of work. Also if you get some do it yourself guy there and the trench fails you and your home owners insurance can and most likely will be liable. Hire a reputable company with insurance. Just my .02
