Sewer Line Repair in Gillette, NJ
The run from a building in Gillette 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 1,163 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 Gillette 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 Gillette 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.
Gillette is the 391st largest block of laterals we cover in New Jersey, carrying about 0.0% of the 3,313,875 homes on our NJ list, and its housing runs older than 50% of the NJ towns we route. 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 Gillette, 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.
