Lightening Strike Causes Fire Damage into the Crawlspace

2/3/2021 (Permalink)

A lightning strike can carry itself from the top of the house clear to the basement, or crawlspace.

SERVPRO Responds to a Fire Damaged Home from a lightning strike during a storm in Lancaster South Carolina Caused by Storm That Rolled Through.  The evening was filled with high winds, rain, and heavy rounds of lightning strikes. Any one of these elements can cause major damage to a home or business.  A tree falling on a home or business can bring the rains into the home, or business causing water damage, and as we see in the south, lightning strikes are an unfortunate part of a storm rolling through.  With a lightning strike on a home or business the level of the incident suddenly moves to a whole new level.  You now have lightning damage, which includes fire damage, and water damage.  Bottom line, it is quite overwhelming to process how one lightning strike can cause so much damage.
