What Storm-Damaged Mains Actually Means
Storm-damaged mains means wind, branches or debris have pulled, snapped, or damaged the overhead service mains or point of attachment, Level 2 work between street or pole and meter. Under AS/NZS 3000 this needs a Level 2 ASP, not general repairs.
Common Causes of Storm-Damaged Mains in Woongarrah Homes
A fallen branch or tree limb
Woongarrah's established estate street trees can drop branches during Central Coast storms, striking the overhead service line and pulling it loose or snapping it entirely.
Strong wind stretching the line
High wind alone can stretch or dislodge an overhead service main, especially on older connections that have weathered two decades of Central Coast weather.
Flying debris impact
Loose fencing, roofing material, or garden debris carried by storm winds can strike and damage the overhead mains or its supporting bracket.
A damaged private pole
Where a private pole carries the mains, storm-force wind or a falling branch can cause the pole itself to lean or fail, taking the line down with it.
Is Storm-Damaged Mains Dangerous?
Yes, storm damage to service mains is a genuine hazard. A downed or damaged line can still be live, and debris tangled with it adds further risk in wet conditions.
- Any downed, sagging, or visibly damaged line after a storm should be treated as live
- Wet ground and debris near a damaged line increase the shock risk further
- Do not assume power is off just because the property has lost supply
What To Do Right Now
Storm-damaged mains call for containment and distance, not inspection, until a Level 2 ASP arrives:
- Keep everyone, including children and pets, well away from the damaged area.
- Do not touch the mains, the pole, or any branch or debris resting on the line.
- Avoid driving or walking near a downed line, even if it appears disconnected.
- Note which part of the property is affected so you can direct us on arrival.
- Call a licensed Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) as soon as it is safe to do so.
