Electrical Service Mast (metal pipe from meter to in Tcoming wires) often get bent when the power lines leading from the structure to the the electric pole become tight from either the power lines interfering with tree limbs during high wind or ice storms. If the pipe is significantly bent, it will need replaced by an electrician at the expense of the home owner. This can also create an unsafe condition. Power lines should be kept clear to prevent this costly damage from occuring.
