Sewer Line Repair in Irving, TX
In Irving the sewer lateral — the run from the house to the public main — belongs to whoever owns the property, not to the utility. There are 94,801 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1982 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Cast iron on the house side with early PVC beyond it is the usual arrangement under Irving properties, whose housing typically dates from 1982. Iron corrodes along the bottom of the pipe, so a survey looks at the invert rather than at the seams.

What went in the ground around 1982
A lateral laid in Irving in that period is most likely cast iron on the house side and early PVC beyond it. Cast iron corrodes along the bottom of the pipe, so capacity is lost gradually rather than suddenly. More on cast iron laterals.
What a camera survey should settle here
On cast iron the recording should dwell on the bottom of the pipe, where corrosion channels and scale collect. The full picture on cast iron laterals.
Irving is the 8th largest block of laterals we cover in Texas, carrying about 2.0% of the 4,766,101 homes on our TX list, and its housing runs older than 90% of the TX towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
39% of homes here are owner-occupied — 18 points below the TX figure. That matters more on a lateral than on almost any other pipe in the house: the run from the building to the main is the property owner’s to repair, and a landlord and a resident owner do not find that out at the same speed.
Median household income across Irving ZIP codes is $70,250 — worth holding next to a repair that falls entirely on the property owner.

Before anyone digs in Irving, get the run on camera — and ask what the bottom of the pipe looks like, because scale along the invert reads as a blockage. What the recording should show you.
