Signs of damage in Property Poles
Keeping an eye out for signs of damage is crucial for property owners. Look for these indicators to spot potential issues:
- Leaning power poles.
- Visible rust marks or signs of damage.
- Sagging, loose, or broken cross arms.
- Broken electrical fittings or wires.
- Trees encroaching on overhead powerlines.
Remember, if you notice any of these signs, contact our licensed master electricians immediately. Neglected property poles can pose fire hazards and electrical risks.
Responsibilities of Property Owners
Owning a property pole comes with responsibilities, and we're here to guide you through it. To ensure safety and functionality, property owners should:
- Arrange for a licensed master electrical contractor to inspect the pole at least every five years.
- Regularly assess the condition of your property pole and entrust licensed master electricians with any necessary repairs.
- Maintain nearby trees through a qualified arborist to prevent interference with powerlines.
