claim for sewer line burying cable

Years ago comcast put in cable lines. They did a direct bore under my drive way. In doing so, they bored through my sewer line. It causes the sewage to back up into my shower. I had it rotor rooted 3 times and finally had a Plumber put a camera in the line. He found the bored cable. The hole allows roots to get into the sewer. I have had a crew come out and saw the concrete drive and expose the sewer. AT&T and the city engineer verified that it is a cable line put in by Comcast. I have not been able to get Comcast to come out and look at the situation. My plan is to take pictures and document everything and have the repair work completed. Then send comcast pics, invoices etc. and make a claim. Just not sure how to file the claim as I cannot get through to a human in their support system to provide me with instructions. There was a ticket created to escalate to Maintenace. The ticket [Edited removed personal info]
