Under-slab cast iron
The pipe you cannot see is often the one that fails. In 1980s homes, the drain under the basement floor may be cast iron that has scaled to half its original bore. Symptoms are a basement floor drain that is always slow, gurgling when the washer drains, and repeated clogs. A camera inspection shows the condition. Replacing it means cutting a trench through the slab, which is messy but straightforward.
