Sewer Line Repair in Hydes, MD
The run from a building in Hydes out to the public main is the property owner’s responsibility, and in housing of this age it is the one material that cannot be ruled out by a date. There are 227 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1967 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Two materials are in play beneath a typical Hydes property, whose housing dates from about 1967: clay, and the bituminized fiber laid next to it. The two fail in quite different ways, and a camera survey is what separates them.

What went in the ground around 1967
A lateral laid in Hydes 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.

Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.

Before anyone digs in Hydes, get the run on camera — and ask what the pipe is actually made of, because the build year cannot settle it at this age. What the recording should show you.
