Sewer Line Repair in Irvington, NY
A lateral serving a house in Irvington belongs to the property, not the utility — which matters more here than usual, because what it is made of is not settled by the build year. There are 2,587 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1956 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Bituminized fiber pipe — Orangeburg — went into the ground alongside clay across the years Irvington housing typically dates from, which is 1956. It deforms into an oval rather than cracking, so the pipe becomes the restriction and clearing it restores nothing.

What went in the ground around 1956
A lateral laid in Irvington in that period is most likely the start of the Orangeburg years. Bituminized fiber went in alongside clay, and it does not crack — it slowly loses its round section. More on Orangeburg pipe.
What a camera survey should settle here
The first thing to settle is whether the pipe still has a round section, because bituminized fiber loses its shape rather than cracking. The full picture on Orangeburg pipe.
