What Storm-Damaged Mains Actually Means
This covers the wiring between the street or pole and your meter, work only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch. Wind, fallen branches, or flying debris can pull, snap, or damage the overhead mains or point of attachment, and any affected line should be treated as live and dangerous.
Common Causes of Storm-Damaged Mains in Norah Head
High winds off the open coast
Norah Head's exposed headland location sees strong sea breezes and east-coast-low storm winds that can stretch or snap overhead service mains.
Fallen branches or trees
Mature coastal tree cover near older beach blocks can bring down branches during storms, pulling the mains loose or damaging the line directly.
Flying debris
Storm debris, including loose roofing or garden materials, can strike overhead lines during severe weather and damage the mains or fittings.
A dislodged point of attachment
Storm force can shake loose a point of attachment already weakened by salt-air corrosion, disconnecting the mains from the house entirely.
Is Storm Damage to Service Mains Dangerous?
