Sewer Line Repair in West Friendship, MD
A property in West Friendship 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 678 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1995 — 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 West Friendship, whose housing dates from around 1995. Plastic neither corrodes nor gives roots a joint to enter, so a repeating backup there is about fall rather than material.

A lateral laid in West Friendship 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
