POWER POLE INSPECTION SYDNEY

If your property is fed by a private power pole, keeping it safe is your responsibility — not the network's. A private pole that is leaning, rotting, cracked, or carrying a deteriorated point of attachment is a genuine hazard, and it is the kind of infrastructure Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy issue defect notices against. Sydney Power Group carries out thorough private power pole inspections across Greater Sydney as an authorised Level 2 ASP, giving you a clear, written picture of your pole's condition before it becomes an emergency.

What We Check During an Inspection

Our inspection covers the full pole and its connections: the base and ground line where timber poles rot first, the pole shaft for cracking, splitting, and lean, the stays and fixings, the point of attachment bracket, and the condition of the service line and consumer mains where they connect. For steel poles we check corrosion, footing, and earthing. We finish with a written condition report you can keep, act on, or provide to a buyer or insurer.

Signs Your Pole Needs Inspecting

Book an inspection if your pole is visibly leaning, you can see rot or cracking at the base, the service line looks loose or the bracket is pulling away, or the pole is simply old and has never been assessed. Timber poles typically last 25 to 40 years depending on exposure, and many Sydney properties are running poles well past their safe life. Storm season is the most common time for an aging pole to fail — an inspection beforehand is far cheaper than an emergency private pole replacement.

Defect Notices & Pre-Purchase Checks

If Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy has issued a defect notice for your pole, we inspect the pole, quote the rectification, and carry out the work — see our defect notice rectification service. Buying a property with a private pole? A pre-purchase inspection tells you whether you are inheriting a costly replacement, so it can be factored into your negotiation. Either way you deal with a Level 2 ASP who can also do the remedial work, not just write a report.

From Inspection to Repair — One Team

Because we are a Level 2 ASP, an inspection can flow straight into repair or replacement without bringing in another contractor. If the pole is sound we tell you so. If it needs attention we can re-tension the service line, replace the point of attachment, or supply and install a compliant new pole and reconnect your supply on the Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network.
