Water Damage After Improper TV Antenna Mast Installation

When Mark from Jim’s Antennas Mount Annan was replacing an antenna on an existing 4.5m guy-wire mast, he noticed that one of the eye screw anchors had been installed between two of the roof tiles. This improper installation had resulted in issues regarding the sealing of the tiles and water ingress. 

After consulting with the home owner to look further, Mark found water damage to the timber roof truss and the anchor pulled out with ease. 

To ensure that the new antenna was installed safely securely, he moved the anchor across to a more suitable position. Placing the anchor over a roof truss, beneath the middle of a tile, he then secured the mast and sealed unit, before installing the new antenna.

While onsite, Mark also helped some makeshift repairs to the timber roof truss and advised the owner to seek a further inspection from a qualified roof or building tradesman.
