Signs Your Power Pole Is Dangerous
Private power poles deteriorate over time. Here's what to look for — and why ignoring it could cost you thousands or put your family at risk.
Leaning or Tilting
A leaning pole means the base is compromised — rotting timber, soil erosion, or structural failure. It can collapse without warning.
Rotting Timber
Wooden poles rot from the inside out. By the time you see damage on the surface, the internal structure may already be critically weakened.
Storm Damage
High winds, falling branches, and lightning strikes can crack, split, or destabilise your power pole. Post-storm inspections are critical.
Sagging Service Lines
Low-hanging or sagging overhead lines from your pole to the house are a serious safety hazard — especially near driveways, pools, or sheds.
Defect Notice Received
Ausgrid or Essential Energy have inspected and flagged your pole. You have a deadline to replace or repair — typically 21 days.
Vegetation Encroachment
Trees and vegetation growing into your service lines or around your pole create fire risk and can cause power outages.
