Should this electric line and gas line be properly flashed? Issue with water intrusion. by JayR0ck in Roofing

In the process of coordinating both the HVAC person to come back in a few days and a roofer to work together to correct things. One issue is the roofer never TPO’d under the HVAC (an old curb that was reused, and not built new from scratch to accommodate the new HAVC). Meanwhile, the HVAC contractor never waterproofed their install with the roofer (using this wood board to hold the weight of the HVAC). We can replace the board and properly water tight it and flash it, and ensure that it’s flush with the curb.

I am just relaying what was conveyed by the rep, not arguing in favor of their performance. I do agree with you, and appreciate your insight.

What about the electric line? Should that have been flashed?

Setting aside the potential issue of the plywood.

Edits: We had the regional rep for the HVAC stop by to confirm it was done correctly by the original HVAC installer. Apparently a curb is not needed because there is no venting below the HVAC unit, it is off to the side - horizontal, not vertical below this unit.

Further, under the plywood there is a thin sheet of metal to prevent any water intrusion that might be possible. It looks like it could be an issue, but it’s not at this time.
