What Storm-Damaged Mains Actually Means
The overhead service mains, and any private pole carrying them, are the wiring between the street and your meter, work only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch. Storm damage here under AS/NZS 3000 needs urgent, qualified attention, not a wait-and-see approach after the weather clears.
Common Causes of Storm-Damaged Mains in Green Point
Fallen branches or trees on the line
Mature trees near Kincumba Mountain Reserve can drop branches during storms, pulling or snapping the overhead service mains.
Strong coastal winds
Wind gusts off Brisbane Water can stretch, twist, or tear the service line loose from its point of attachment on the house.
A damaged or leaning private pole
Where a private pole carries the mains, storm winds can crack, lean, or topple an ageing pole, taking the wiring with it.
Debris strikes during severe weather
Flying debris in a strong storm can strike and damage the overhead line or the point where it attaches to your property.
Waterlogged or eroded pole footings
Heavy rain around low-lying streets near Brisbane Water can waterlog or erode the ground around a private pole's footing, weakening its stability during high winds.
Is Storm-Damaged Mains Dangerous?
Yes, treat it as urgent. A damaged line or pole can still be carrying live current, and contact with it, wet ground, or nearby debris is a genuine shock and fire risk.
- A downed or damaged line should always be treated as live
- Keep clear of any pole, branch, or debris tangled with the wiring
- This is always Level 2 work, never a DIY fix after a storm
- Water pooling near a damaged line adds a further shock risk
What To Do Right Now
These safe steps protect your family while an urgent Level 2 ASP is on the way:
- Keep everyone, including pets, well clear of the damaged line or pole.
- Do not touch the line, the pole, or anything resting against them.
- Move vehicles away from the affected area if it's safe to do so.
- Avoid standing on wet ground near any downed or sagging wiring.
- Call a licensed Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) for an urgent inspection.

Common questions
Storm-Damaged Mains FAQs
The real questions Green Point homeowners ask after a storm damages their power supply.
Is storm damage to service mains dangerous?
Yes. A storm-damaged line or pole can still be live and unstable, so stay well clear and call a Level 2 ASP straight away rather than inspecting it yourself.
What causes storm damage to service mains?
Strong wind, falling branches, and debris are the usual causes, pulling, snapping, or damaging the overhead mains or the point of attachment.
What should I do if my mains are storm damaged?
Keep everyone away from the damaged line or pole, don't touch anything it's resting on, and call a licensed Level 2 ASP for an urgent inspection.
Do I need a Level 2 ASP for storm-damaged mains, or a normal electrician?
You need a Level 2 ASP. Storm damage to service mains, private poles, or the point of attachment is beyond a general electrician's licence to repair.

It depends on the extent of the damage, but every job starts with a free quote and fixed upfront pricing, plus a $0 call-out fee, so there are no surprises.
Is storm damage common on service mains in Green Point?
Yes. Green Point's leafy streets near Kincumba Mountain Reserve and its exposure off Brisbane Water make overhead mains vulnerable during Central Coast storms.
