Often yes. Trenchless methods pull or line a new pipe along the existing path using access pits at each end, which leaves most of the lawn intact. Whether that works depends on the shape of the old pipe, so it comes down to what the camera finds.

In houses with a basement the main shutoff is usually on the wall facing the street, close to where the supply enters, and the sewer cleanout is often nearby or just outside the foundation on the same side. Older homes sometimes have no accessible cleanout at all, which changes how a blockage has to be reached. Finding both while everything is dry is far easier than finding them during a backup.

Age is the best clue. The oldest runs are usually clay tile in short jointed sections, mid-century homes often have cast iron or fiber conduit, and anything recent is plastic in continuous lengths. Jointed materials are the ones roots exploit, so a plumber will want to know the era of the house before guessing.

It depends on your policy and on what caused the backup, so contact your insurance provider to confirm what you carry. Backup coverage is often a separate endorsement rather than part of the base policy. Documenting the damage and keeping the plumber's findings helps whatever the answer turns out to be.
