What happens here
Walk carefully towards your house to inspect the service entrance. Identify the service mast, which is the vertical pipe extending from the roof or side of the house where the overhead service line connects. Observe the electric meter, usually located below the service mast, and any associated electrical boxes, such as a main disconnect or small breaker panel. Note any visible damage to these components, such as a missing service head or bent mast. The video shows an electrician examining a meter and a small 20-amp breaker box below it, which he finds unusual for a main service.
Goal: Identify and visually check the service mast, electric meter, and associated electrical boxes for damage.
