Lightning Risk Check

How the check works

The check weighs the same things a lightning protection designer looks at first: what the structure is, how tall it stands, what is around it, and what a strike would put at risk. Taller, more isolated structures and costly or dangerous contents raise the level.

Every result also lists the parts that kind of structure needs, from air terminals and conductors to grounding and surge protection, and points you to the matching service, such as lightning rod installation for a home or structural lightning protection for docks and boat lifts.

It is a quick guide, not an engineering assessment. A free estimate on site confirms the real layout.

Why it matters here: Central Florida is the "Lightning Capital" of the United States. On average, lightning causes more weather-related deaths in Florida than all other weather hazards combined. (National Weather Service, Melbourne)
