When lightening strikes, do you know if your home is protected?

In the midst of storms, anything can happen. Do you know what to do if a lightening strikes your home? Read more about how to prepare if lightening hits your house.

Lightening Fires

If you know that your house has been hit and on fire, call the fire department immediately. Fires start from the top and burn down, so avoid the attic and be cautious of burning walls. Lightening can cause tremendous damage to an unprotected home. Fire is the number one damage due to lightening.

Storm Power Surges

Power Surge damage can occur when lightening finds electrical wiring. This can cause damage to your electrical appliances.

Storm Shock Waves

Another thing to consider is the lightening’s Shock Wave (AKA Thunder). Shock Waves can cause damage in the structure of your home; breaking windows, hindering the integrity of the walls, causing cracks in foundation, as well as shaking items off of walls.

Looking into a professionally installed lightening protection system can prevent much stress and chaos.
