Sewer Line Repair in North Benton, OH
In North Benton the sewer lateral — the run from the house to the public main — belongs to whoever owns the property, not to the utility. There are 575 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
Bituminized fiber pipe — Orangeburg — went into the ground alongside clay across the years North Benton housing typically dates from, which is 1967. 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 1967
A lateral laid in North Benton 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.
