New construction home sanitary line issues
Good morning everyone. My family has recently moved into a new construction home. I live in southwest Florida so this is a single story slab home. We moved in around Christmas and have since been having issues with the drains. Sometimes toilets won't flush, sometimes you plunge it and it comes up in the shower, sometimes squirts out of the sinks, or when showering you sometimes hear the sinks and the toilets make a "bloop-bloop-bloop-bloop" noise.
I have a good friend who works for a large plumbing contractor come out with the 120' camera and show me the issues. It shows a small area a few feet in from the clean out that has a small crush in the side of the PVC line and then a little farther in, about 4ft or 6ft (trying to recall) that has a belly in the pipe where it holds water, what looks like, 65% full all the time. My friend says that's section may be back pitched or has sagged when pouring the slab.
I've contacted the builder and he has sent his plumber twice; once I had to leave work to meet him here but both times wasting my time. He looks down the clean out plug outside and goes "I see water is going by, it's good". No investigation or anything. I am at the point now where I am wanting a lawyer to proceed with this. So below I am posting the video link of my drain. All the important parts are in the first two minutes or so. You can fast forward the first 30sec or so.
Thank you all for your input

Mix up a libral amount of hydraulic cement very thin and pour it down the closest drain to the busted pipe and the hot hydraulic cement will seek out any and all holes,crushes,and voids and seal them up airtightGood morning everyone.
