Roof Damage At Electrical Pole Fixed
Roof Damage At Electrical Pole Fixed by Florida Roofing and Renovations. Because the previous roofer did not install shingles around the mast with the proper flashing boot, they only caulked it. This caused leaks and rotted the wood around the mast. We fixed it with the correct flashing boot. Since the mast goes through the roof structure and materials, the pole moves, causing the caulk to crack over time. Check the soffit area underneath the overhang for water or algae stains to determine if your mast leaks. That will reveal that the mast allows water to flow around the electric pole.
When we replaced the roof, we had to replace the wood at the electrical mast because the previous roofer did not properly install the flashing on the electrical pole. Attached are pictures of a plumbing lead boot, which was also not done properly with the correct flashing. Whether during the replacement of an existing roof or a roof repair, we can install the right flashing correctly
Roof repairs can be simple, while others require professional help. Suppose you suspect you have a water leak at your electrical service but do not see any rotten wood. In that case, you can get an adhesive caulk such as Karnak 19 in a tube with a caulk gun, seal around the mast at the shingles, metal, or even a flat roof, and it will hold up until a professional roofer can properly repair it.
Experience Matters
To have a roof repair like Roof Damage At Electrical Pole Fixed correctly, it takes an experienced roof contractor. Make sure the roofer that comes out is experienced.
