How to report a down or damaged CenturyLink line

When you speak with the repair agent, they will ask you for:

• Whether you are a CenturyLink customer or not
• Your name and telephone number
• Which services are affected – telephone and/or internet

It will be helpful if you can also provide:

• Address, directions and/or landmarks to locate damaged equipment
• Identifying numbers or marks on damaged equipment 
• Description of equipment (i.e. Is the wire smaller or larger than a pencil?)
• Cause of damage, if known – termites, lightning strike, car crash, tree limb, construction, etc.
• Person/company responsible, if applicable
• Description of damage – leaning pole, drooping/cut wire, equipment missing door, etc.
• When damage likely occurred (such as days ago, weeks or months)
• Any other information – emergency personnel on scene, additional damage imminent

If you need CenturyLink equipment moved or removed, contact us and provide the following information:

• Your name and telephone number
