Many lightning‑related damages are hidden — especially electrical and structural issues. We verify your date of loss against recorded weather data, look for physical indicators, and test your electrical system to confirm whether a strike or surge occurred.

Even if your home wasn’t directly hit, a nearby lightning strike can send a massive electrical surge through the ground and utility lines. That surge may travel into your home’s wiring, silently damaging circuits, outlets, and appliances. The scary part? You might not notice anything right away.

Determining whether your home was struck by lightning can be crucial for accurate insurance claims. At Lightning Strike Investigators, we specialize in unraveling such incidents through a meticulous investigation process.

Our certified experts employ advanced forensic techniques, including inspecting physical evidence like scorch marks, electrical system damages, and metadata analysis from nearby weather stations to confirm a lightning strike.

We understand the complexity of insurance claims and provide comprehensive reports that detail our findings, ensuring you have the necessary proof to support your claim.
