Sewer Line Repair in Cedar Grove, IN
A lateral serving a house in Cedar Grove belongs to the property, not the utility — which matters more here than usual, because what it is made of is not settled by the build year. There are 355 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1960 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Bituminized fiber pipe — Orangeburg — went into the ground alongside clay across the years Cedar Grove housing typically dates from, which is 1960. It deforms into an oval rather than cracking, so the pipe becomes the restriction and clearing it restores nothing.

What went in the ground around 1960
A lateral laid in Cedar Grove in that period is most likely Orangeburg or cast iron, with clay still going in at some depths. Which of the three you have is not something the build year can settle on its own. More on Orangeburg pipe.
What a camera survey should settle here
Three materials were going in the ground at once in these years, so the survey is identifying the pipe before it diagnoses anything. The full picture on Orangeburg pipe.
