Sewer Line Repair in Bunker Hill, WV
A property in Bunker Hill owns its lateral all the way to the public main. On pipe this modern the ownership matters less for corrosion than for fall. There are 3,224 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1998 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Solvent-welded PVC or ABS is almost certainly what lies beneath a typical property in Bunker Hill, whose housing dates from around 1998. Plastic neither corrodes nor gives roots a joint to enter, so a repeating backup there is about fall rather than material.

What went in the ground around 1998
A lateral laid in Bunker Hill in that period is most likely PVC or ABS, solvent-welded, and effectively immune to corrosion and to roots at the joint. A repeated backup here points at fall and alignment, not material. More on plastic laterals.
What a camera survey should settle here
Solvent-welded pipe rarely fails at the joint, so the survey is measuring fall and looking for standing water. The full picture on plastic laterals.
