Dig it up yourself and replace it.

It may take a month of digging, but so what? Just do a little a day. And put
up caution tape around the hole. You may need a permit from your city or
county.

The lateral sewer line from my house to the street clogs about once a
year, in spite of my putting drain cleaner in regularly. The guy who
cleaned it out last time said the line is broken. The town says it's my
responsibility. It would be several thousand dollars to dig up and repair
the line. I've heard one company claim that it can replace the line
without any digging (I suppose by inserting another line through the old
one). What's the best way to deal with this problem: Have the line
cleaned once a year, get a new line, get a better sewer cleaner, or
something else?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
