Back yard drain and sewer line

Looking for a drain cleaner and/or possible camera inspection. I’m soon to be re-doing the cement slab in the backyard and the drain has been slow for a very long time. Maybe I should do a full line camera inspection? We have never done a real inspection.

The drain area and pipe probably has a lot of soil and hard to reach due to deck, water puddles there.
Last time I hired a 49.99 guy, he could not get the snake machine all the way, it got stuck.

Thanks in advance for any recs.

We would be happy to help with your camera inspection (Aladdin Plumbing). You might definitely have debris in the line from the yard (leaves, dirt, rocks, etc.). A drain cleaner most likely won’t work with an area drain in the yard. Also, when you are doing the slab replacement, you can also dig up the drain line and see what kind of condition it is in. If it’s old, regardless of whether or not you can clear it, I would always recommend to replace it while it’s accessible.
