Sewer Line Repair in Lyon Station, PA
In Lyon Station the sewer lateral — the run from the house to the public main — belongs to whoever owns the property, not to the utility. There are 235 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1953 — 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 Lyon Station property, whose housing dates from about 1953: 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 1953
A lateral laid in Lyon Station 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.
