A saddle fitting can connect a branch to the side of a larger sewer pipe. From inside the larger pipe, the opening may resemble a hole in the wall. Its shape and position help the technician distinguish a connection from damage.
Find out whether the branch is active
Ask where the branch leads and whether the fitting projects into the flow path. Keep the footage and location with any drawings or tracing results.
Document the connection before repair
If repairs cross the branch, ask how it will remain connected and how the crew will verify flow afterward. Record whether the camera reached the branch or could only show its opening.
