Lightning Protection System Inspections & System Maintenance
Preserving Performance Over Time
A lightning protection system doesn't fail all at once. It degrades quietly — a corroded connector here, a few ohms of rising ground resistance there — until the day it's called on and isn't ready. Environmental exposure, facility changes, corrosion, and grounding degradation all chip away at long-term effectiveness, often invisibly. LEC's ongoing inspection and maintenance services exist to catch that decline long before it becomes a liability.
Lightning protection is not a “set it and forget it” asset. It's infrastructure, and like any infrastructure, it performs only as well as it's maintained.
What Our lightning Inspection & Maintenance Services Include
- Visual inspections. Visual inspections of DAS® units and conductors.
- Ground resistance testing. Ground resistance testing and verification.
- Damage & site-change identification. Identification of physical damage or site changes.
- Detailed documentation. Documentation of system conditions and recommendations.
- Approved repairs. Approved repairs and maintenance performed as needed.
How Often Should You Inspect Your Lightning Protection System?
Inspection frequency depends on your facility's risk profile: storm frequency, environmental exposure, and the criticality of what the system protects all factor in. LEC helps determine a cadence that matches your actual exposure rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule and adjusts it as your facility or environment changes.
Why Routine Maintenance Matters
Routine maintenance ensures your system continues to dissipate lightning charge exactly as designed, rather than discovering deficiencies only after an incident has already occurred.
Proactive, Not Reactive
By catching corrosion, grounding degradation, and physical damage early, LEC helps facilities avoid the far greater cost — financial and operational — of an undetected system failure.
