Sewer Line Repair in East Point, KY
The lateral leaving a house in East Point 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 559 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1996 — 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 East Point, whose housing dates from around 1996. 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 1996
A lateral laid in East Point 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.
