Missing flashing at electrical mast

What do you recommend when you find this condition?

If I'm doing the roofing job:

* Buy two Oatey No Calk roof flashings.

* Slit the first one from the top of the hole to the top of the flashing.

* Slip it around the mast from the downhill side of the roof.

* Slit the second one from the bottom of the hole to the bottom of the flashing.

* Slip it around the mast from the uphill side of the roof.

* Stich the exposed portion of the seam together with metal roofing screws (the kind with built in cup washers and neoprene rings).

If I'm writing a report:

"Install proper flashing at the electrical mast where it goes through the roof."

Pipe jack? Not a term I've heard before.

A pipe jack is the pre-manufactured flashing that fits around a plumbing vent pipe. It consists of a metal base flashing and a neoprene neck.

It might be a regional term, but every roofer handyman and dogwalker around here knows what it means.

We also have vent jacks.

Relacing an electric service mast flashings is an easy job. Just cut off the old flashing and install a Retro-Spin Flashing.

Slide it on and spin it closed, then nail tight. Easy job!

Then use a Retro-Split EPDM storm collar that matches the size of the galvanized mast pipe as a counter flashing.
