In short
Solvent-welded PVC or ABS is almost certainly what lies beneath a typical property in Saratoga Springs, whose housing dates from around 2011. Plastic neither corrodes nor gives roots a joint to enter, so a repeating backup there is about fall rather than material.

Saratoga Springs is the 24th largest block of laterals we cover in Utah, carrying about 1.3% of the 844,359 homes on our UT list, and its housing runs older than 6% of the UT towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
84% of homes here are owner-occupied — 14 points above the UT 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.
