What Storm-Damaged Mains Actually Means
A storm can pull, snap, or damage the overhead service mains, a private pole, or the point of attachment, the wiring between the street or pole and your meter. Under AS/NZS 3000, only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to repair it, and it may still be live even when visibly damaged.
Common Causes of Storm-Damaged Mains in Boolaroo
We see the same pattern of storm damage across the suburb's overhead-fed properties near the lake.
Fallen branches or trees
Mature trees along Boolaroo's older streets can bring branches down onto overhead service mains during high winds, pulling or snapping the line.
Wind-stretched or torn mains
Strong Hunter storms can stretch or tear ageing overhead mains directly, especially on original-era connections around Main Road and First Street.
A damaged point of attachment
The bracket where the service line meets the house can be wrenched loose by wind or falling debris, leaving the connection exposed.
A leaning or damaged private pole
Where a property is fed via its own private pole, storm winds can leave it leaning or carrying damaged mains that need urgent attention.
Is Storm-Damaged Mains Dangerous?
Yes, treat it seriously. Storm-damaged overhead mains can remain live even when visibly torn, sagging, or resting on the ground, fencing, or trees.

What To Do Right Now
Take these safe steps only, and leave the repair to a Level 2 ASP:
- Keep everyone, including pets, well clear of any damaged or fallen line.
- Do not touch the mains, the pole, or anything they are resting against.
- If safe to do so, note which part of the property the damage affects.
- Do not attempt to move debris off the line or inspect it closely yourself.
- Call a Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) straight away to make it safe.
When To Call a Level 2 ASP for Storm-Damaged Mains in Boolaroo
