Lightning Protection Inspections

Protect Your Home, Business, and Farm with Professional Lightning Protection Inspections

At Strike Safe Lightning Protection, we understand that lightning is one of the most unpredictable and destructive natural forces. Homes, businesses, and industrial properties across Louisiana, Arkansas, and the Delta region face significant risk during thunderstorms. That’s why regular lightning protection inspections are essential to ensure your property is safeguarded against lightning damage.

Whether you already have a lightning protection system or are considering installing one, our certified experts provide thorough inspections to ensure your system is reliable, safe, and compliant with industry standards.

A thorough inspection typically includes:

• Visual examination of lightning rods and air terminals
• Testing of grounding system resistance
• Checking electrical bonding of all metallic components
• Identifying wear, corrosion, or loose connections

After inspection we can report the findings and maintenance recommendations

Why Lightning Protection Inspections Are Essential

A lightning protection system is only effective if it is properly maintained. Over time, corrosion, weather damage, or improper installation can compromise its performance. Regular inspections ensure:

• Lightning Rods Are Functioning Properly: Loose or damaged lightning rods cannot safely direct electrical energy.
• Grounding Systems Are Effective: Grounding systems dissipate lightning strikes into the earth, reducing risk to your property.
• Electrical Bonding Is Secure: Bonding all metal components, from gutters to HVAC systems, prevents dangerous side flashes.
• Compliance with Insurance and Safety Standards: Many insurance providers require regular inspections, and proper maintenance can lower your risk of costly damage.

Neglecting inspections can result in fires, structural damage, and expensive repairs. Regular checks protect your home, business, or farm while giving you peace of mind.

When Lightning Protection Inspections are Required?

Regular inspections of a lightning protection system (LPS) are essential to confirm that it operates as intended. These evaluations typically involve visual assessments, continuity measurements, and testing of the grounding resistance. Checks are required throughout construction, once the system has been installed, and on an ongoing basis—generally at least once per year. Inspections should also be carried out whenever the building is struck by lightning or undergoes structural modifications.

Inspection types

• During construction: Ensures that any components built into the structure are installed correctly before they become inaccessible.
• Post-installation: Confirms that all parts of the system are electrically continuous and properly connected.
• Routine/periodic: Conducted annually or more often if the site’s risk profile warrants it.
• Following building alterations: Verifies that repairs or modifications have not compromised the LPS.
• After a lightning event: Identifies and corrects any damage so the system remains fully operational.

Our Comprehensive Lightning Protection Inspection Process

Strike Safe Lightning Protection uses a systematic approach during inspections to ensure your system is fully operational and compliant with NFPA 780 and UL 96A standards.

Step 1: Visual Examination

We start with a complete visual assessment, checking:

• Air terminals and lightning rods for damage or corrosion
• Roof and structural connections
• Gaps or loose components

Step 2: Grounding System Testing

Proper grounding is critical. We measure the ground resistance using advanced tools to ensure lightning energy is safely conducted into the earth. High resistance can compromise your system, and we recommend corrective actions if needed.

Step 3: Bonding and Connectivity Checks

We ensure that all metallic elements of your property, including plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems, are correctly bonded to your lightning protection network. Proper bonding prevents side flashes that could harm occupants or damage property.

Step 4: Detailed Reporting

After inspection, we provide a full report that includes:

• Identified issues and recommended repairs
• Photographic documentation for insurance purposes
• Verification that your system meets industry standards

Step 5: Maintenance Recommendations

We provide guidance for ongoing maintenance to extend the life of your system and ensure consistent performance year-round.

Tip: Schedule inspections at least once a year or after severe storms to keep your lightning protection system in top condition.
