Sewer Line Repair in Bois D'Arc, MO
The pipe between a house in Bois D'Arc and the public main is the owner’s, and on cast iron it is a run that loses capacity slowly rather than failing suddenly. There are 825 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1986 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Cast iron on the house side with early PVC beyond it is the usual arrangement under Bois D'Arc properties, whose housing typically dates from 1986. Iron corrodes along the bottom of the pipe, so a survey looks at the invert rather than at the seams.

Before anyone digs in Bois D'Arc, get the run on camera — and ask what the bottom of the pipe looks like, because scale along the invert reads as a blockage. What the recording should show you.
