Five months ago we purchased a 10 years old house. Recently we had a sewage backup in the toilet, flooding the bathroom and the water came in the bedroom. My plumber cleaned the sewage line with a very long snake. He ran a camera and said I have a belly under the house in the PVC pipe. He did not have any experience in fixing this so recommended finding another plumber. I have spoken to several plumbers and having trouble finding the right person to do the job. One of them is going to come next week to check. I don't know anything about plumbing, but just by speaking to him over phone I don't feel very confident about his ability to do the job right.
Any advice will be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

- What should I look for when hiring someone for such a specialized job? Is there a plumbing association I can reach out for help.
- What is the repairs process for such issue? I could not find much info on belly repair process. There are some YouTube videos on fixing old pipes which have roots but nothing about belly.
- How much does this tipically cost? Insurance doesn't cove this and I am really in trouble.
Any advice will be very helpful. Thank you in advance.
