Lightning strikes are powerful, unpredictable, and more common than many property owners realize. Each year, lightning causes extensive damage to homes, businesses, agricultural structures, and critical infrastructure, leading to fires, structural damage, equipment loss, and costly downtime. The question every property owner should ask is simple: Is your home or business truly protected from lightning?

The Hidden Risk of Lightning Strikes

Many people assume insurance or basic electrical grounding is enough. Unfortunately, that is a dangerous misconception. A direct or nearby lightning strike can travel through roofing materials, wiring, plumbing, fencing, and even tree roots—causing fires, explosions, and severe electrical damage in seconds.

Residential properties face risks such as roof fires, damaged appliances, and compromised structural integrity. Commercial and industrial properties face even higher stakes, including operational shutdowns, data loss, damaged equipment, and safety hazards for employees and customers.

Why Lightning Protection Systems Are Essential

A professionally designed lightning protection system provides a controlled, low-resistance path that safely directs lightning energy into the ground—away from your structure. This dramatically reduces the risk of fire, electrical surges, and catastrophic damage.

At WB Lightning Protection, systems are custom-designed for each property to ensure complete coverage. Proper lightning protection is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Factors such as building height, roof design, location, surrounding terrain, and use of the structure all play a critical role in system design.

Protecting Homes, Businesses, and Specialized Properties

WB Lightning Protection provides professional lightning protection design, installation, and inspection services for a wide range of properties, including:

  • Residential homes and estates

  • Commercial buildings and offices

  • Industrial and manufacturing facilities

  • Agricultural buildings, barns, and farms

  • Churches, schools, and historic structures

  • Critical infrastructure and specialty facilities

Whether protecting a family home or a high-value commercial operation, lightning protection is an investment in safety, longevity, and peace of mind.

Lightning Protection

Built to Industry Standards You Can Trust

A lightning protection system is only as effective as the standards it follows. WB Lightning Protection installs systems using UL-listed materials and adheres strictly to NFPA 780 and UL 96A guidelines. These nationally recognized standards ensure systems are installed correctly, safely, and built to perform when lightning strikes.

Routine inspections and maintenance are also critical, especially after severe weather events or building modifications. WB Lightning Protection offers inspection services to ensure existing systems remain compliant and effective.

The Cost of Not Being Protected

The cost of installing a lightning protection system is often a fraction of the cost of repairing damage caused by a single lightning strike. Fires, insurance claims, business interruption, equipment replacement, and safety risks far outweigh the proactive cost of protection.

Lightning protection is about prevention, not reaction. Once damage occurs, it’s already too late.

Is Your Property at Risk?

If your home or business is located in a lightning-prone region, near open land, water, or elevated terrain—or contains valuable equipment or irreplaceable assets—your risk is higher than average. Even properties without a history of lightning damage are not immune.

The best way to know if your property is protected is through a professional evaluation by a qualified lightning protection contractor.
