East coast lows, summer squalls, fallen trees, hail — Sydney storms are hard on private power poles. We repair, replace, and handle the insurance paperwork, Sydney-wide.
Sydney's storm season runs November to March, and every major event generates callouts across the city. The private pole on your property is the most vulnerable piece of electrical infrastructure you own — it's outdoors, fully exposed, and carrying live voltage.
We've handled every kind of pole storm damage: fallen trees, lightning strikes, wind shear, flying debris, and water-table subsidence after heavy rain. Whatever the cause, the repair path is always the same: make safe, document for insurance, replace or repair, re-energise.
Fallen tree, wind load, or base subsidence after heavy rain. Usually requires replacement.
Timber cross-arm snapped or torn off. Often repairable on the existing pole.
Cable pulled off the pole or torn by a falling branch. Replacement of the cable from pole to house.
Pole scorched, hardware fused, or internal wiring damaged. Often needs full replacement plus meter/switchboard checks.
Most Sydney home and contents policies cover sudden storm damage to private poles, including the pole, hardware, service cable, and supply restoration. You pay your excess; the insurer pays the rest.
What's typically NOT covered: wear-and-tear, gradual rot or rust, or failure caused by a pre-existing defect notice you hadn't rectified. Our written cause report helps insurers distinguish sudden events from gradual failure — and we handle insurance claims every week.
Call us after you've called the network. We'll make safe, document everything, and get your supply back as fast as possible.
