Emergency Tower Repair
Storm, ice, lightning strike or structural failure - we mobilise fast to assess, stabilise and get critical sites back on the air.
- GTA-east based - fast dispatch across Ontario
- Rescue-trained certified climbers
- Make-safe first, then restore
- Damage + repair documented for insurance
When a tower goes down, every hour off the air costs. Broadband Tower Services keeps senior, rescue-trained crews based GTA-east, ready to mobilise across Ontario for storm damage, strike damage and structural failures - to make the site safe first, then get it back in service.
What we respond to
- Storm and wind damage - displaced antennas, damaged mounts, loosened or failed members.
- Ice loading - structural and feedline damage after an ice event.
- Lightning and surge damage - failed surge protection, damaged feedlines and grounding faults.
- Guy-wire and anchor problems - tension loss or failure on guyed towers, a serious safety issue we treat as urgent.
- Tower lighting and beacon outages - obstruction-lighting failures that need fast restoration to stay compliant with aviation marking requirements.
How we work an emergency
- Rapid assessment - a certified climber gets eyes on the structure to determine what failed and whether it's safe.
- Make safe / stabilise - temporary stabilisation to remove immediate danger and prevent further damage.
- Restore service - permanent repair, replacement and re-sweep to bring the site back properly.
- Document - photos and a report of the damage and the repair, ready for your records or an insurance claim.
Why response time is real here
Because we climb our own jobs and dispatch from the GTA-east, there's no waiting on a subcontractor's schedule - the people who pick up the phone are the people who climb the tower. Call us with the site and the situation and we'll tell you straight what we can do and how fast.
FAQ Common questions
Good to know
How fast can you respond?
We keep crews based GTA-east and dispatch across Ontario. Call us with the site location and what's happened and we'll give you a straight answer on timing - emergency and tight-window work is something we're set up for.
Do you handle tower lighting and beacon outages?
Yes. Obstruction-lighting and beacon failures need fast restoration to stay compliant with aviation marking requirements - we treat them as urgent and can repair or replace the lighting.
Can you provide documentation for an insurance claim?
Yes - we document the damage and the repair with date-stamped photos and a written report suitable for your records or an insurance claim.
What if the tower might be unsafe?
That's exactly when to call. A certified climber assesses the structure first and we stabilise to make it safe before any restoration work, so nobody is put at risk.
