Agree to the Camera inspection but insist that you be there for the visual. But not the Jet flush.

Not necessary.

In all my years in my home one of the things i learned is that aside from roots in the line, if you know where the vent is ahead of the plugged drain (not a toilet) and you can plug the vent, you can use a 5 gallon wet dry vacumn and clear a line in about 5 minutes. Ask your brother about that.

My kitchen sink use to get plugged from the garbage disposal and a snake did no good. So i found the vent for that pipe, went on the roof, essentially put a cork in it, took apart the drain under the sink attached a vacumn hose to the drain under the sink that heads under the house. Turned it on and in 5 minutes evacuated everything in that drain to the vacumn. No plumber needed.
