Lightning Damage Requiring an Emergency Electrical Service
Severe thunder and lightning storms can lead to fire and even water damage. Each leaves your home’s electrical systems in need of some attention. Lightning doesn’t necessarily have to directly strike your home to cause a dangerous disaster. If it strikes close, it can jump, following your home’s wiring system. Avoid direct contact with any appliances, electrical devices, and phones that are directly plugged or wired into your home’s system. Wireless devices are safe, but as a general rule if you are able to keep yourself safe, and have ample time to unplug any electrical devices from the outlets, go ahead.
Surge protectorsĀ can help divert some damage that may be caused by a lightning strike, but these cannot be fully relied upon in the event of a direct strike with an overwhelming load of electricity causing a short circuit.
If you suspect your home is struck by lightning you immediately want to contact theĀ fire department. If lightning has traveled through your homeās plumbing or electrical lines, there could be a fire in hidden places ā areas not easily visible. After this initial assessment, you then want to consult with a qualified electrician to determine if your homeās electrical system is safe. A emergency electrician canĀ test wiring after a lightning strike to determine any damage. Our lightning protection specialists provides comprehensive inspection and electrical troubleshooting to identify fire hazards and protect your home from damage.
Wind Damage Causing Emergency Electrical Repairs
Wind down-bursts are other causes for concern. Sudden storms can whip up quickly, leaving light fixtures outside your home twisted or snapped off. Donāt take it upon yourself to handle fixtures that have fallen down. If wires are exposed, turn the power off to the fixture immediately. Let one of LiveWireās electricians evaluate your wires for any damage.
Fallen trees and branches can damage the main electrical line to a house, leaving you without electricity. Your local electric company may not offer a repair.
