Plumbing easement question in Pensacola FL

I have a problem that has me completely stumped at the moment. I have a property (1 unit of a duplex) that is currently tenant-occupied. The sewer line runs out of my unit, under the lawn and driveway of the other unit (owned by another landlord), and into the sewer tap under the street. The sewer line was apparently not built to code in the first place, but the drain line is starting to collapse under the weight of the neighbor's cars (they park mainly in the driveway but also in their yard directly on top of the sewer line). To repair the problem would necessitate cutting  and partially resurfacing the neighbor's driveway. I have contacted the neighbor's property management firm (I have not been able to get in touch with the owner himself), and explained the situation and that I am willing to pay for everything, but they are  telling me the owner is completely unwilling to discuss it. Is there anything I can do?
