The trees around your home are vulnerable to lighting, especially when they grow tall, are located near water, or stand out in the open. When struck by lighting, they put both your property and personal safety at risk. Here are a few ways professional tree services can minimize the likelihood of injuries and damages.

How Can Professional Tree Services Protect From Lightning?

Install Lightning Rods

Lightning rods provide excellent protection for the trees on your property. Since lightning rods are made from copper and aluminum alloys, they attract lightning to themselves before it can strike elsewhere. When installed near or within trees, they absorb the strike of lightning and transmit it into the earth, leaving your trees and property unscathed. 

Use Lightning Protection Systems

Using a system of copper conductors attached to a rod mounted in the earth, they absorb electricity and disperse it into the ground rather than into your trees or house. These systems can also help keep vehicles and nearby structures safe.

Schedule Regular Tree Trimming 

When trees grow too tall or wide, they present an increased risk of attracting lightning. This is especially true when limbs and branches hang over your roof, making lighting more likely to strike and damage your home. Schedule tree trimming services with the experts a couple of times per year to avoid the possibility of electrocution or house fires.
