Q&A
What does your annual lightning rod inspection involve?
Our annual inspection is a thorough check to ensure your system is fully operational. We examine all rods, cables, and connections for corrosion, damage, or wear. We also test the grounding system to confirm it meets safety standards and can properly dissipate a lightning strike. This proactive service helps identify minor issues before they become major problems, keeping your property protected year-round.
I'm in Marshall and have frequent arc fault breaker trips. Could this be related to my property's grounding?
Yes, it's possible. Arc fault breakers are sensitive to electrical irregularities, and improper grounding—a common issue in older homes and farms around Marshall—can cause nuisance tripping. While we specialize in lightning protection systems, which require excellent grounding, we can assess your overall grounding during an inspection. We'll determine if your lightning rod ground or other grounds are contributing to the problem and advise on the best solution.
Do you offer free estimates for new lightning rod installations?
Absolutely. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for installing a new lightning protection system on your home, business, or farm in the Marshall area. Our assessment considers your building's size, structure, and location to design a system that provides effective protection. We believe in transparent pricing and will explain all costs and the value of the recommended system upfront.
