In short
On plastic the material is rarely the answer, and plastic is what Cave Springs housing of about 2012 will have beneath it. That moves the question to how the run was laid: a belly holds water, and a flat section drops solids.

93% of homes here are owner-occupied — 31 points above the AR figure. That matters more on a lateral than on almost any other pipe in the house: the run from the building to the main is the property owner’s to repair, and a landlord and a resident owner do not find that out at the same speed.
