I would have tried hydrochloric acid too .....very cheap from the pool supplies.........but youd want to be sure there was no metal in the plumbing,and the acid wont work on any kind of epoxy grout .

Doesn't matter if he went out of business if he had insurance when he did your job then his insurance company is still responsible for any potential claims ..
However if he wasn't insured then your probably sol
Insurance or bond.

I would make it the problem of the company that did the install.....it is there problem for their irresponsible employee. I would also notify your homeowner insurance. If the install company says for you to get the work done and send them the bill....get it recorded, the person, date, and time you discussed the problem.
When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

When you said ... Tile , I had a sneaking suspicion the Tile Setter had dumped enough mortar down the pipe to clog it .
Our Painter ruined our brand new kitchen sink and poured enough paint down the drain to clog it .
I'm glad my wife wasn't able to catch him ... she would still be doing time in Angola State Prison for killing the painter ... She's still hot about that subject !
Glad the man was able to clear drain without breaking up slab .

20 years ago my boss got the idea to map a campus sewer system. Yay.
He wanted to find the rain leaders- rain gutters dumping into the sewer. Double yay.
So he rented for me a GatorCam. With video tape VHS! so he could review the sewer later.
There are heads for power washers, three jets in back, one forward:
the three back jets propel the assembly like a snake down a hole (just like the snake it is)
We slither 100 feet, shut off the water, find the snake with the GatorFinder
mark the dratted rain leaders, easy to fix, but at the bottom of a crater,
paint the line on the ground and then drag the snake out watching the low def TV.
There was paint mortar concrete rocks and trash along with the usual.
Found some crushed lines. Took all summer.
That power washer head would clean 6" or 8" pvc down to the shine.
The big chunks usually would go around the bends.
Dratted sewer was eight feet down.
Then we field-painted lines over the water system and electric (red white and blue)
Campus looked like a demented labyrinth when the boss took a picture from a plane.
With practice I got really good at Dig-Safe. Yay.
