Lightning strikes can damage electrical wiring, appliances, roofing, trees, and building materials. In some cases, a strike can also cause electrical fires or create hidden damage inside walls.
What the Job Involves
The property is inspected for visible and secondary damage following a lightning strike. This may include checking roofing, electrical components, wiring, ceilings, walls, and areas affected by smoke or fire.
Signs You Need It
- Burn marks or scorch marks
- Damaged electrical outlets
- Tripped breakers after a strike
- Smoke or fire damage
- Roof or exterior damage
- Appliances suddenly not working
- Burning or electrical odors
How the Work Goes
The property is inspected first to identify affected areas. Electrical systems should be evaluated by a qualified electrician before damaged circuits are used again. Fire, smoke, water, or structural damage is then assessed, with affected materials repaired, dried, or replaced as required.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the extent of electrical damage, affected wiring, roof condition, fire or smoke damage, accessibility, and materials requiring repair or replacement. Hidden wiring or structural damage can increase the scope of work.
