Why You Need a Lightning Protection System in the State of Virginia
Mother Nature can be beautiful and awe-inspiring. She can also be unpredictable and sometimes destructive. Millions of dollars are spent every year in repairing damage caused by tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, blizzards and lightning. While many of these acts of nature cannot be controlled, lightning strikes can.
Virginia sees her fair share of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes with an average of 344,702 strikes annually. Although lightning strikes can occur any time throughout the year, summer is considered peak season in Virginia, especially during the summer storms.

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.
