Question Sewer Pipe 'Rooting'

Does anyone actually do this anymore ? .

We called a place and they sent out two lazy guys who ran a snake to clean the blockage then a camera and tried hard to get permission to tear up the Concrete and lay a new house to street pipe because of roots in the pipe .

I know there are roots in the pipe, that's why roto - rotting was developed, duh .

? Are all plumbers this lazy now ? .

I remember the roto rooter guy spending hours chopping up the roots with the long tool back in the 1960's & 970;s, the Roto Rooter company used to have an annual contest to see who could extract the longest root.....
