dtontarski Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I thought I'd seen bent mast heads addressed on the forum before, but my search attempts failed. We get a lot of heavy ice build up and tree damage to the service drops around here and I see mast heads with slight bends frequently. Should I always call out bent mast heads and recommend further evaluation? This one today had a pretty good bend. It looks like once upon a time it had guy wires. Is this a definite replacement or would new guy wires be adequate? How should I write this observation up?

I'd also mention the crappy flashing. - Jim Katen, Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtontarski Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Jim - I took a look in the Hansen book...and based on that I recommended replacement, new guy cables, or bracing....but I left is as - base the corrections on a further evaluation by an electrician (visit necessary due to panel issues). Yea the roofer did a nice job installing the third layer of shingles, but didn't have a clue about flashing. Thanks again and again....your responses have been very helpful.
