Professional Lightning Protection Systems in Utah

Lightning can affect properties throughout Utah, from the Wasatch Front and rapidly growing communities along the I-15 corridor to rural, agricultural, and mountain areas. Utah also experiences summer thunderstorms and a monsoon season that can bring lightning to the state.

A properly designed lightning protection system does much more than place lightning rods on a roof. Air terminals, conductors, grounding electrodes, bonding, connections, and other components work together to intercept a lightning strike and provide a controlled path for the electrical energy to reach the earth.

Deseret Lightning Protection designs each system around the individual structure and property.

Residential Lightning Protection in Utah

Utah includes everything from established neighborhoods and historic homes to rapidly growing communities, mountain properties, luxury residences, and large custom homes.

Deseret Lightning Protection installs residential lightning protection systems for:

• Single-family homes
• Custom and luxury homes
• Mountain homes and cabins
• Large estates
• Metal-roof homes
• Rural properties
• New construction
• Existing homes
• Homes undergoing additions or renovations

Each system is designed around the home’s roof configuration, height, construction materials, chimneys, projections, and other structural characteristics.

Commercial Lightning Protection Utah

Commercial properties can contain expensive electrical equipment, communications systems, computers, security systems, machinery, and other infrastructure that may be vulnerable to lightning and electrical surges.

Deseret Lightning Protection provides lightning protection solutions for:

• Office buildings
• Retail properties
• Warehouses
• Hotels and hospitality properties
• Churches and religious facilities
• Schools
• Multifamily properties
• Manufacturing facilities
• Industrial buildings
• Storage facilities
• Other commercial structures

We can work with property owners, facility managers, contractors, architects, and other construction professionals on both new and existing buildings.

Barn, Farm & Ranch Lightning Protection

Agricultural properties are an important part of Utah, and barns and other agricultural structures can be especially exposed because of their location and surroundings. Utah hazard-planning documents specifically recognize barns, silos, agricultural structures, and rural properties as vulnerable to lightning-related damage.

Deseret Lightning Protection provides systems for:

• Barns
• Farms
• Ranches
• Equestrian facilities
• Livestock buildings
• Agricultural structures
• Equipment buildings
• Workshops
• Storage buildings
• Multi-building rural properties

We can evaluate individual structures or properties with several buildings to determine an appropriate lightning protection approach.

Lightning Protection for Utah Mountain Properties

Utah’s mountain environment creates unique properties and construction styles. Cabins, mountain homes, ski-area properties, lodges, and structures located in exposed or elevated areas may benefit from professionally designed lightning protection.

We provide lightning protection solutions for mountain properties throughout Utah, including areas around Park City, Heber City, Midway, Sundance, Summit County, Wasatch County, and other mountain communities.

The design of each system takes the property’s elevation, building configuration, roof construction, and surrounding conditions into consideration.

New Construction Lightning Protection in Utah

With continued residential and commercial development throughout Utah, new construction is an important part of our lightning protection services.

Planning lightning protection during construction allows the system to be coordinated with the building rather than treated as an afterthought.

Deseret Lightning Protection can work with:

• Homeowners
• Home builders
• General contractors
• Architects
• Roofers
• Developers
• Commercial contractors

When lightning protection is considered early in the construction process, certain components can often be incorporated more discreetly into the finished building.

Lightning Protection for Existing Buildings

You do not need to be building a new structure to add lightning protection.

Deseret Lightning Protection can install systems on existing Utah homes, businesses, barns, and other buildings. We evaluate the structure and determine how the system can be installed while keeping visible components as unobtrusive as practical.

Lightning Protection System Inspections

Already have lightning rods on your Utah property?

An existing system should not automatically be assumed to be functioning correctly simply because lightning rods remain visible on the roof. Connections and components can become loose, damaged, disconnected, or deteriorated over time.

Roofing, remodeling, building additions, severe weather, and installation of new rooftop equipment can also affect an existing system.

Deseret Lightning Protection can inspect the system and identify areas that may require attention.

Lightning Protection Repair & Retrofit

An older lightning protection system does not necessarily need to be completely replaced.

Depending on its condition and configuration, an existing system may be repaired, modified, or retrofitted.

Common reasons for lightning protection repair or retrofit include:

• Loose or disconnected connections
• Damaged conductors
• Missing or damaged lightning rods
• Corroded or deteriorated components
• Roof replacement
• Building additions
• Remodeling
• New rooftop equipment
• Solar panel installation
• Storm-related damage
• Changes to the original structure

Because the individual components must work together as a complete system, damaged or disconnected components can affect the integrity of the lightning protection installation.

Lightning Protection After Roof Replacement

If your Utah home or commercial property already has a lightning protection system, roof replacement is an important time to have it checked.

Lightning protection components may need to be temporarily disconnected, moved, or removed while roofing work is completed. Afterward, the system should be properly restored rather than simply placing the rods and conductors back on the roof.

Deseret Lightning Protection can inspect, reconnect, repair, and retrofit lightning protection systems following roof replacement or major roof repairs.
