They Specialize In Lightning Strike Protection

They Specialize In Lightning Strike Protection WB Lightning Rods of Glasgow, Del., installs and repairs lightning rods and systems to protect houses, barns, stables, pole barns and trees. With offices throughout Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama, the company provides protection across the U.S. “Lightning poses a serious threat to rural America, especially on farms, where barns, stables, pole buildings, livestock shelters and valuable equipment are vulnerable,” says William Burden, owner and CEO. “A single strike can spark devastating fires, destroy electronics, damage structures, and endanger people and animals.” These accidents can result in tens of thousands of dollars in damages and far more when livestock, stored crops or farm machinery are involved. “We specialize in complete lightning protection systems for farm buildings, homes, and commercial or industrial buildings. All our systems use high-quality, UL-approved copper and aluminum materials and are installed to meet or exceed NFPA 780 standards.”  While many people believe lightning rods attract lightning, they actually provide a safe, low-resistance pathway for massive electrical charges to follow. This keeps buildings intact and protects livestock and people from harm. “Farm structures tend to be the tallest points in open areas, making them prime targets during thunderstorms,” says Burden. “Worse, lightning can ignite hay, damage electrical systems in milking parlors, and create costly power surges that destroy computers. A well-installed system will dramatically reduce these risks.” Family-owned since 1950, WB Lightning Rods is fully licensed and insured and holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). “We’re different from our competitors because every project is personally supervised by one of the owners, and all work is performed in-house by our own crews, trucks and equipment. No subcontractors,” says Burden. “This ensures consistent quality, attention to detail, and reliable results from start to finish.” The company is versatile, with a team that’s willing to help customers evaluate their home designs. “Our teams ensure every system is code-compliant and built to last,” says Burden.
