Saving thousand can save deals!
The sewer saddle. Its that last joint in a sewer system before connecting to the city sewer and it is the very last point of responsibility for a home owner. When the saddle is broken, cracked or severely root intruded the only option was to dig up the street (typically the center) and install a new connection and finally repave the street. At a typical cost of $8,000 to $25,000 to dig up the center of the street it is never pleasant news to deliver on site when this connection was damaged.
