Protecting Your Home from Lightning
Where there are storms, there is lightning.
How can you protect your home from lightning?
At East Texas Lightning Protection, we specialize in safeguarding your home, family, and valuables from lightning strikes. Texas storms can be unpredictable and intense. While there’s no way to completely prevent lightning strikes, we can enhance your home’s protection with our lightning rod installations.
Lightning can strike your home or business in several ways:
- Direct Strikes: The most dangerous type, resulting in structural damage and fires.
- Nearby Structures: Trees and patios can be struck, which may then impact your home or business.
- Electrical Wires: Lightning can travel through electrical systems, affecting appliances, lighting, and the structure itself.
- Plumbing: Metal pipes can conduct electrical currents. Even if lightning strikes away from your home, the surge can enter through plumbing.
What Are Lightning Rods Used For?
Lightning rods are metal rods installed in your home to direct lightning safely from point A to point B. Their primary purpose is to protect your home and business from energy surges caused by lightning strikes. While you may not see them often in larger cities, they are more common in rural areas. When installed correctly, a lightning rod carries a lightning strike from the point of impact down to grounded wires, allowing the energy to be dispersed safely.
