"Short version:
They got the job done, but it took two visits and cost about 2-3 times more than it should have because they initially arrived with the wrong equipment and then recommended an unnecessary, expensive video scan.  The extra cost was due to their error and they should have covered at least some of it (if not all) but they refused.

Details:

Our sewer line backed up between our house and the street, and so I called In and Out to clear it.  They arrived with nothing but a hand snake because supposedly other equipment was in the shop.  The plumber was able to (temporarily) clear the obstruction with the hand snake.  Charge: $250, which also included cleaning the trap in one of our interior sinks.  So far so good (although if I'd known they'd come with just a hand snake, I would have done it myself...)
Two weeks later, the line backs up again, because the hand snake only punched a small hole in the obstruction rather clear it completely.  I called In and Out to come back with the correct equipment.  

This time they arrived with the proper equipment, including the full sized snake and water jet to clear the roots.  Given the previous failure to remove the blockage, they recommended sending the video camera down the pipes to diagnose the problem.  Problem = roots from the trees near the sewer line (surprise!).  They used the snake + water jet to remove the roots and clear the obstruction.  Now everything works.  Bill = another $775.  

 Why do they get a C grade?
Issue 1: they refused to refund any of the money from their first, failed intervention.  If they'd just arrived with the right equipment, we would have removed the roots on day one, sparing us another sewer back up and another expensive visit.  They brought the wrong equipment and didn't solve the problem -- there should be at least a partial refund.  Even an apology would have been nice.  But I didn't get either.   instead, we come to Issue 2

 Issue 2:  when they came back, they recommended an unnecessary (and very expensive) video scan of our system which just turned up the obvious problem of roots from the nearby tree.
Total cost was over $1000, for a job where most plumbers would have just gone in with the big snake + jet on day one and knocked out the roots for $250-400.   In and Out ultimately fixed the problem, but we had to endure 2 days of sewer back up and paid 2-3x what we should have.

On the plus side, they were always very prompt, professional, and friendly in person (aside from issues noted above)"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The best practice is to clean the sewer drain lines in your home once a year or every two years. Older homes could require more frequent maintenance. Keeping up on cleaning your sewer lines can prevent severe clogs, help ensure your system is working properly, and prevent expensive repairs.

Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.

There are a few things that can happen to your sewer system if you don’t fix it. These include rainwater entering it and causing rust and corrosion, dirt and debris leading to blockages, small animals getting stuck inside and clogging your sewer line or entering your home, and shortening the sewer system’s life span. 

Without a cap, nothing prevents toxic and non-toxic gasses like methane and hydrogen sulfide from slowly escaping your sewer system and entering your home and the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in a foul sewer odor throughout your house.
