Hello everyone, we have been living in our house for 9 months now. We are experiencing the third blockage below the slab foundation. The pipe runs under the foundation across the yard to the drain. From the drain to the house, there are no signs of damage or blockage.
There is gurgling throughout the house, and all drains are very slow or not draining at all (including upstairs), except for the kitchen. We notice the blockage because the toilet siphon upstairs loses water. So far, we have been able to clear most of the water buildup using home remedies. However, it now seems that there is a serious problem in the main line.
Now the puzzle:
When we run water in the kitchen, it reaches the drain without any issues. Everything else does not reach the drain. When we insert a camera into the drain in the utility room (the camera from a friend is too large for the other pipes), the camera is submerged in water after 2 meters. The kitchen is located beyond the utility room when viewed from the drain connection. How can this be explained? What could be the cause of the problem?

The guest bathroom connects from the left side of the stack.
