Maryland #1 Lightning Protection
Why You Need a Lightning Protection System in the State of Maryland
Maryland offers its residents a wide array of climates ranging from hot and humid summers to cold and wet winters. Though it offers pleasant climate for most part of the year, Mother Nature can be especially brutal in the area with tornadoes and hurricanes being common.
Maryland is also known for high occurrences in cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. It is ranked amongst the top half in all states with cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in the US. Lightning strikes are common during thunderstorms. Maryland experiences an average of 30 to 40 thunderstorm days annually with an annual average of more than 88,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes.
Storms in Maryland are fast-moving and cannot be controlled. However, you can protect your home from the full brunt of the thunderstorms by ensuring that you have a professionally designed and installed lightning protection system.
A lightning protection system is the best way to prevent damage or loss as a result of lightning strikes during a Maryland thunderstorm. You can prevent damages amounting to tens of thousands of dollars by investing in our services.
We are experts in the design and installation of lightning protection systems for both commercial and residential buildings.

Commercial Lightning Protection
Many industrial and commercial property owners are choosing lightning protection systems for their structures as part of the overall security package to protect property, inventory, electrical equipment and precious human life.
Residential Lightning Protection
A lightning protection system consist of many components. The key components, which work together to protect structures from lightning damage are air terminals, conductors, bonds, ground terminations, and surge protection devices.
Lightning Protection for Barns & Farmhouses
We install lightning rods with wire connections to the ground for barns. If lightning strikes the barn, it won’t bother your horses because the rods will absorb the brunt of it.
Lightning Protection for Trees
Lightning protection devices from WB Lightning Rods can lessen the likelihood of harm from a lightning strike. In order to mitigate the risk of tree damage and carry the electrical charge to the soil, where the energy is diffused, lightning protection systems use copper conductors coupled to a ground rod. Our technologies have a strong track record of safeguarding trees, and also lessen the possibility of a side-flash to neighboring structures.
Lightning Rods
The lightning rod, which Benjamin Franklin invented in 1749, is a metal pole mounted atop a building that draws lightning’s electrical charge away from the structure. The rod is attached to an aluminum or copper cable that’s connected to an underground conductive grid.
