Sewer Line Repair in Statham, GA
In Statham the sewer lateral — the run from the house to the public main — belongs to whoever owns the property, not to the utility. There are 3,563 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
Solvent-welded PVC or ABS is almost certainly what lies beneath a typical property in Statham, whose housing dates from around 2002. Plastic neither corrodes nor gives roots a joint to enter, so a repeating backup there is about fall rather than material.

What went in the ground around 2002
A lateral laid in Statham 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.
Statham is the 74th largest block of laterals we cover in Georgia, carrying about 0.2% of the 2,143,606 homes on our GA list, and its housing runs older than 14% of the GA towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
