LIGHTNING DAMAGE EDUCATION

Lightning Damage 101

  • Lightning doesn’t behave like fire, water, or wind.

  • It travels through wiring, plumbing, metal framing, and electronics — often leaving hidden damage behind.

What Lightning Really Does

  • Creates micro‑surges that silently weaken appliances

  • Travels through unexpected paths behind walls

  • Damages HVAC, electrical panels, breakers, and wiring

  • Causes slow failures weeks or months later

  • Leaves safety hazards that general inspections miss

Why Most Inspections Miss It

  • Generalists look for what they can see.

  • Lightning damage is mostly what you can’t see.

What Homeowners Should Watch For

  • Flickering lights

  • Tripped breakers

  • Strange smells

  • Electronics failing one by one

  • HVAC issues

  • Wi‑Fi or cable problems

Why a Specialist Matters

  • A lightning strike is a forensic event.

  • You deserve someone trained to understand it.
