Sewer Line Repair in Marriottsville, MD
A property in Marriottsville owns its lateral all the way to the public main. On pipe this modern the ownership matters less for corrosion than for fall. There are 1,931 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1994 — 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 Marriottsville housing of about 1994 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 1994
A lateral laid in Marriottsville 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.
