Given the presistence of the problem, your drain line is
likely shot. How old is it?

Roots follow the water. Therefore, there are leaks, and
cracks in the line that the roots can attack. In the
worst cases, there is no more pipe -- just a hole in
the dirt where the pipe used to be.

Chances are you're going to have to replace that line
sooner or later. Ouch!
