Always check your service wire!!
They are designed to last several decades but our north eastern climate, and the fact that this side of the building faces South means this particular wire was under extra duress during its lifespan. You can’t always help where this is mounted on the house, but checking it once a year can help keep your eye on whether or not it needs repair. We took these pictures before the duct seal was applied to the service entrance connector on top of the meter enclosure so make sure you have that as well. Inexpensive and easy to apply yourself. It’ll save you from getting water into your electrical panel.
