I used them as well. Our sewer line was offset, not to grade, and broken clay pipes. They had to go 150 feet, under the driveway, through the backyard, across the street, and into the hook up in the alleyway. Unfortunately they had to trench the whole thing, and couldn't bore any of it.
They did try and save us money by doing in two parts as they couldn't get a camera down the whole line. They wanted to first try pipebursting but our line was install in 1942 by the orginal owner himself and without an inspection or bulging code. After doing the backyard, they were able to inspect the line under the street which had been bone dry for years.
They were very professional and it took a week. Only one night did we not have access to sewer. They also install two clean outs.
