How Lightning Protection Systems Work

Lightning can strike your home or business whether or not it is protected with a lightning protection system. A professionally installed lightning protection system dissipates the dangerous electrical discharge to eliminate the chance of fire or explosion of nonconductive materials (wood, brick, mortar, tile, etc.). The system provides a specified path on which lightning can travel, to direct the destructive power into the ground, leaving the home and occupants unharmed. system-setup-small.jpg
