What types of power line repairs do we provide?
We provide repairs for overhead lines, underground cables, service connections from pole to house, and private property lines. Each repair type addresses specific damage patterns and requires different tools and techniques to restore safe, reliable power to your home or business.
Overhead power line repair
Overhead repairs fix exposed wires on poles damaged by storms, branches, or wear. Technicians use bucket trucks and safety equipment to replace broken cables and restore connections above ground.
Underground power line repair
Underground repairs address buried cable failures caused by digging, water damage, or insulation breakdown. Crews locate faults, excavate the damaged section, and install new protected wiring below the surface.
Service line repair from pole to house
Service line repairs fix the direct connection bringing power from the utility pole into your home. We replace worn weatherheads, damaged conduits, and failing meter connections that cause flickering or outages.
Private power line repair
Private line repairs handle electrical lines you own on your property, like those running to detached garages, sheds, or outbuildings. We fix damage from age, animals, or accidental contact.

Why do power lines get damaged?
Power lines get damaged from severe weather, natural aging of materials, and physical contact with trees or objects. These factors gradually weaken cables or cause sudden breaks that interrupt your electrical service.
Storm and weather damage
Heavy winds, ice accumulation, and lightning strikes snap cables or pull them from their supports. Rain and moisture cause corrosion that weakens connections over time, leading to failures during normal use.
Aging or deteriorated cables
Insulation breaks down after years of sun exposure and temperature changes. Old cables lose flexibility, develop cracks, and expose bare wires that create shock hazards and short circuits.
Tree impact and physical stress
Growing branches rub against lines and wear through protective coating. Falling limbs during storms break cables instantly, while constant contact from swaying trees gradually damages insulation and creates fire risks.
Is a damaged power line dangerous if left unrepaired?
Yes, damaged power lines create serious safety threats, including electrocution, fires, and property destruction. Exposed wires carry enough voltage to kill on contact, and sparking connections can start fires that spread quickly to nearby structures.
Fire and electrocution risks
Bare wires spark when touched or during rain, starting fires in walls or nearby materials. Direct contact with exposed cables delivers fatal shocks to anyone who touches them.
Property damage consequences
Electrical surges from damaged lines destroy appliances, electronics, and home wiring systems. Fires from sparking connections can burn down structures before anyone notices the problem starting.
Power reliability and outage risks
Weakened connections fail without warning, leaving you without electricity for essential heating, cooling, and medical equipment. Repeated outages damage sensitive electronics and disrupt daily life constantly.

When is a new power line installation required instead of repair?
New installation becomes necessary when connecting a property for the first time, adding temporary service, or upgrading capacity for higher electrical loads. Repairs cannot solve these situations because no adequate line exists to fix.
New property or connection scenarios
Newly built homes, additions, or undeveloped land need complete power line installations from the nearest utility pole. No existing connection exists to repair, so professionals must run entirely new lines to your location.
Temporary power line needs
Construction sites, outdoor events, and temporary buildings require dedicated power connections for limited timeframes. We install temporary lines with proper safety measures that get removed once your project or event finishes.
High-load requirements requiring new lines
Large appliances, electric vehicle chargers, or workshop equipment often exceed your current line capacity. Existing cables cannot handle the increased amperage safely, so we install heavier gauge lines rated for higher loads.
How does overhead power line installation work?
Overhead installation connects cables from utility poles to your building using aerial supports. Technicians mount weather heads, string wires at safe heights, and secure all connections following clearance regulations.
Pole-to-house installation process
Crews set poles at required distances, attach insulators and hardware, then pull cables through. They connect the service drop to your weather head and meter base, testing voltage before activating service.
Clearance and safety requirements
Lines must maintain minimum heights above ground, roads, and roofs based on local codes. We keep proper distances from windows, trees, and other structures to prevent accidental contact or interference.
When overhead installation is suitable
Overhead works best for rural properties, areas with existing pole infrastructure, and locations where trenching proves difficult. The method costs less than underground and allows faster repairs when damage occurs.

How does underground power line installation work?
Underground installation buries cables in protective conduits below the surface. Crews dig trenches, lay conduit pipes, pull wires through, then backfill and restore the ground to its original condition.
Trenching and conduit basics
Trenches run 18 to 36 inches deep depending on local codes. PVC or metal conduits protect cables from moisture, rocks, and accidental digging damage throughout their lifespan.
Safety and durability benefits
Buried lines avoid storm damage, tree contact, and vehicle strikes that destroy overhead cables. Underground installation eliminates exposed wires, reducing electrocution risks and improving long-term reliability.
How do you decide between repair and full replacement?
We decide based on damage extent, safety code compliance, and expected lifespan. Minor issues like broken insulators or short cable sections get repaired, but widespread deterioration or structural failures require complete replacement for safe, reliable operation.
Minor damage versus structural failure
Small breaks, loose connections, or single damaged sections qualify for repair. Cracked poles, corroded main cables, or multiple failure points throughout the system demand full replacement.
Safety and compliance limitations
Older systems often lack modern grounding or proper amperage ratings required by current codes. Repairs cannot bring outdated lines up to standard, making replacement the only legal option.
Long-term reliability considerations
Patching heavily aged lines creates temporary fixes that fail again soon. Replacement provides decades of dependable service and eliminates recurring repair costs that exceed new installation expenses.
Can power lines be upgraded or relocated safely?
Yes, licensed professionals can upgrade lines for higher capacity or relocate them for construction projects. We follow strict safety protocols and obtain necessary permits to complete upgrades and relocations without service disruption.
Increased load requirements and capacity upgrades
Adding pools, HVAC systems, or charging stations often requires heavier cables and upgraded service panels. We calculate your total load and install appropriately rated lines to handle increased demand.
Power line relocation during renovations or construction
Building additions or property changes sometimes require moving existing lines out of the way. We reroute cables to new poles or paths while maintaining continuous power throughout your project.
Underground conversion for long-term planning
Converting overhead lines to underground improves property appearance and storm resistance. We coordinate utility disconnection, trench installation, and reconnection to transition your service below ground permanently.
Who is qualified to perform power line repair and installation safely?
Licensed electricians with specialized high-voltage training perform power line work safely. They hold state certifications, maintain liability insurance, and follow OSHA regulations to protect themselves and your property during all electrical operations.
Licensed power line electricians
Qualified electricians complete apprenticeships and pass state exams covering high-voltage systems. They renew licenses regularly and attend continuing education on updated codes.
