Just Been Hit? Safety First
Before anything else — storm-damaged electrical infrastructure is unpredictable and often still live. These four rules protect your family until we arrive. Then call 0402 559 777.
- Treat every fallen line as live — stay 8+ metres away, and keep clear of anything touching it: fences, trees, puddles, cars.
- Don't enter flooded rooms where water may have reached outlets, appliances or the switchboard.
- If the switchboard is wet or damaged, don't touch it — not even to turn it off.
- Smell gas or see fire? 000 first, electrician second.
Our Storm Response, Step by Step
Storm jobs run make-safe first, restoration second — here's what that looks like from your first call.
Priority triage, 24/7
Storm calls jump the queue. We assess danger on the phone and dispatch the nearest crew — storms are when our four-region coverage matters most.
Emergency make-safe
Downed lines isolated, damaged connections secured, wet boards de-energised — the property made safe before detailed repair.
Damage assessment and documentation
Photos, cause assessment and reports for your insurer — captured properly, first visit.
Full repair
Service lines, private poles, mains, switchboards, meter boxes — as Level 2 ASPs we repair all of it, no second contractor.
Testing and reconnection
Everything verified safe, then your property re-energised — we're authorised to reconnect to the network ourselves.
Storm Damage We Repair
Every storm season, these are the repairs our crews run across Sydney — most of them Level 2 work that ordinary electricians can't legally touch.
Fallen & Damaged Service Lines
Lines brought down by wind or branches isolated, repaired or fully replaced — including the point of attachment. See fallen power line.
Service Line Pulled Off the House
Point-of-attachment failures re-anchored, re-terminated and reconnected — a storm classic.
Storm-Damaged Switchboards & Meter Boxes
Water-affected boards assessed, dried, repaired or rebuilt with insurance reports included.
Damaged Private Power Poles
Leaning, cracked or fallen private poles made safe and replaced — same-day where possible.
Lightning & Surge Damage
Post-strike inspection, repairs, and surge protection so the next storm doesn't repeat the bill.
Trees on Power Lines
Safe isolation and repair after branches bring lines down — never attempt removal yourself.
Insurance Claims, Handled Properly
Storm damage is usually claimable — and the difference between a smooth claim and a stalled one is documentation. We work with NRMA, AAMI, Allianz, QBE, Suncorp, Budget Direct, Youi, Vero and more, even when we're not on the preferred panel.
- Emergency make-safe certificates your insurer will ask for
- Photographed damage assessment from the first visit
- Written cause-of-damage reports for claims
- Itemised repair scope and quote for the assessor
- Direct liaison with builders and restorers on larger claims

FAQs
Who do I call first after storm damage — insurer or electrician?
If anything is dangerous — fallen lines, wet switchboard, no power — call us first on 0402 559 777: make-safe can't wait for a claims queue, and insurers expect emergency make-safe to happen immediately. We document everything as we go, so your claim starts with proper evidence.
Does insurance cover storm damage electrical repairs?
Storm damage to your electrical installation is commonly covered under home policies. We provide the make-safe certificates, photos, cause reports and itemised quotes assessors ask for, and we work with all major insurers — NRMA, AAMI, Allianz, QBE, Suncorp and more — even off-panel.
The storm knocked my power out but nothing looks damaged. Should I still call?
Yes. If the street has power and you don't, something failed on your connection — often a service fuse or a line fault you can't see from the ground. And if the street is out too, check your distributor's outage map first; we'll handle whatever the network restoration leaves behind.
