Homeowner has roof leak after insulation installers cut a strip across the roof and poorly sealed around L-angle and electric mast, causing water intrusion that wets interior bricks below.
No pre-engineered flashing exists for this specific L-angle-and-mast combination, and general-purpose roof cement alone fails to seal such complex penetrations permanently.
Workarounds Described
- tried patching with plastic roof cement
- searched online for solutions but couldn't find proper flashing
Implied Software Gaps
- Custom flashing identification and sourcing tool for non-standard roof penetrations
- Augmented reality or photo-based measurement and recommendation engine for roof repairs
