Sewer Line Repair in Marydel, DE
The lateral leaving a house in Marydel is the property owner’s out to the main. On solvent-welded plastic the material is rarely the problem, which makes how it was laid the question. There are 674 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 2002 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
On plastic the material is rarely the answer, and plastic is what Marydel housing of about 2002 will have beneath it. That moves the question to how the run was laid: a belly holds water, and a flat section drops solids.

What went in the ground around 2002
A lateral laid in Marydel in that period is most likely PVC or ABS, solvent-welded, and effectively immune to corrosion and to roots at the joint. A repeated backup here points at fall and alignment, not material. More on plastic laterals.
What a camera survey should settle here
Solvent-welded pipe rarely fails at the joint, so the survey is measuring fall and looking for standing water. The full picture on plastic laterals.
