What Storm-Damaged Mains Actually Means
This is the overhead wiring and pole between the street and your meter, work only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch. Wind, falling branches, or debris can pull, snap, or damage the service line or private pole during a storm.
Common Causes of Storm-Damaged Mains in Buff Point
Wind-stretched or snapped overhead lines
Strong winds off Budgewoi Lake can stretch or snap ageing service mains, especially on Buff Point's older overhead connections.
Falling branches or debris
Mature trees on established lakeside lots can drop limbs onto the service line or pole during a storm, causing damage or a complete break.
A damaged point of attachment
Storm force can wrench the bracket fixing the line to the house loose, leaving the connection hanging or exposed.
A leaning or damaged private pole
Older private poles carrying mains to the house can be weakened or knocked during a storm, risking a further collapse.
Is Storm-Damaged Mains Dangerous?
Yes, treat this as urgent. Damaged overhead mains can remain live even after a storm has passed, and a downed line or leaning pole near your property is a genuine hazard.
- Never approach a downed or damaged line, assume it is live
- A leaning or cracked pole can fail further without warning
- This is Level 2 work, do not attempt any repair yourself
