Sewer Line Repair in Ledgewood, NJ
The lateral leaving a house in Ledgewood is the property owner’s out to the main. On solvent-welded plastic the material is rarely the problem, which makes how it was laid the question. There are 1,591 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1996 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
A lateral serving Ledgewood housing of roughly 1996 is plastic, and plastic is effectively immune to corrosion and to root intrusion at the joint. What is left is geometry, which is what a camera survey actually measures.

What went in the ground around 1996
A lateral laid in Ledgewood 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.
