Common Questions
Lightning Protection in Wilmington
Does RS Lightning Protection serve Wilmington, DE?
Yes. Delaware's largest city, home to our Delaware office. We install, maintain, and repair lightning protection systems for Wilmington-area homes, businesses, farms, and institutional buildings.
What does a lightning protection system do?
A lightning protection system gives lightning a deliberate, low-resistance path to the ground — through air terminals (lightning rods), conductors, and grounding electrodes — instead of letting it strike and travel through a building's structure, wiring, or plumbing.
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
No. A properly installed lightning rod doesn't attract a strike — it provides a safe path to ground for lightning that would otherwise find its own path through the building.
Does every building need lightning protection?
Not every building needs it, but taller structures, buildings in open or elevated areas, barns and agricultural buildings, and properties with a history of strikes are common candidates. A property assessment is the reliable way to find out.
