Yay - 2 cleanouts!
I agree with HJ about installing 2 clean-outs, one going each way.
I am a "rooter-man" and I've found a few outside clean-outs that sweep away from the house and the clog is between the house and the clean-out.
Better safe than sorry. (Normally, if you don't have a clean-out access in the house, the "rooter-man" has to remove your toilet to run his sewer snake from there to your sewer. Not only does it cost more, your pipes inside your house can be severely damaged if they are already deteriorated.)
You already have a root problem, so here's a tip. When you have your sewer line cleaned out (with a sewer snake), the roots will keep growing back (obviously, sorry). Treat your sewer line with COPPER SULPHATE every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months. (You may have to stick with every 3 months if you have a LOT of roots.) It will kill the roots without killing the trees.
This is not a permanent fix - the only permanent fix is replacing your sewer line.
NOTE: Copper Sulphate - do not buy the liquid, it will do you NO good. Do not buy the small powder-like crystals, they will float away and do you NO good. You want the crystals that are dime-sized to quarter-sized. (Flush a cup at a time down the toilet to avoid clogging it, 2 cups is a full application. For LOTS of roots, 4 cups is a full application for the first 6 months.)
