Yeah you need to call someone.
Depending on the scenario of which we have no knowledge of location, topography, grade depth, soil type, etc, this may be very simple or very expensive.
But there’s a few rules with gravity sewer that can’t be broken.
1. Sht flows downhill
2. You have a 1% variation in slope from 1% to 2% slope and no bumps or dips or it won’t work.
3. You’ve already gotten some misleading information in this thread (in general, irrespective of your actual conditions) so be careful of internet advice.
4. Unless you can figure out elevation slope and grade, you can’t even plan how or where to run the line or what to tie into.
It’s likely a very simple job that any halfway lucid plumber could/would do. In lieu of a utility contractor. But you need to know #1,2 and 4 to determine the scope of work required.
#1, #2 and number #4 are the reasons why I'm hesitant to do the work myself. I don't think I could get the slope right and then have a real big problem.
