Well, it looks like we don't have to get our plumbing dug up. Our first plumber said we might have a broken sewer, which would have to be dug up. Our second opinion said no, it's just a belly in the pipe. (Basically, the pipe doesn't have a nice, steady slope - it goes up and down as it goes out to the sewer main.) He stuck a camera in it and washed it out with a lot of running water, and we could see that there was no break in the sewer. Nice to hear. So we don't have to spend a few grand. We just need to run a lot of water and we'll be fine.
The downside is that he also said we ought to wait at least 90 days to get the basement put back together. But at least it's summer.
