main line

Hello everyone, I am new to DIY plumbing but confident enough I know what to do, but I need some advice. Just bought my house and the laundry room setup is a nightmare. The previous owners had a water softener that they took with them. And left a ton of extra pipes hooked up here in the pic...

I have a 1950s house and just recently started having sewer backing up into the crawlspace through a middle drain. Everything from the toilet was coming out of that drain. (which is in the middle of the crawlspace) which continues out through the wall and to the street. Now to give you an idea...

My drains are backed up and overflowing, but the plumber hasn't been able to locate a main line cleanout to clear them. The attached photo is of the main stack in the crawl space. The plumber said not to use that one, as it would cause a huge mess. The ground in the crawl space is mostly bare...
