When I first bought my house, it took a while to realize that the spare bathroom wasn't working correctly. A plumber tried to snake the drain out, but didn't find a problem. He had to put a camera down the drain line to discover that the pipe went down/up/down. Not good for water flow.

The builder's plumber (another guy from the one who did the camera) had to locate the drain line under the slab so they would know where to jackhammer the slab apart. It only took a few minutes for one of his crew to use a divining rod to indicate where the pipe was, which they did accurately.
