Lightning Protection in Lake City & Live Oak

Farm and timber country

Columbia and Suwannee counties are pine timber, pasture, and farm country, with farmhouses, equipment sheds, hay barns, and poultry and dairy buildings spread across open ground. Long metal-roofed buildings standing alone on a field are prime targets in a summer storm.

We look at the whole farmstead and plan grounding that ties the buildings together. See farm and ranch lightning protection.

Homes on the Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers

River homes near Branford, Fort White, and along the Suwannee often sit on stilts or high foundations among tall cypress and oaks, and many are weekend places that sit empty for days. A strike can go unnoticed until someone is back, which is a good reason for both a lightning protection system. See residential lightning protection.

Churches and small-town main streets

Lake City and Live Oak both have historic downtowns with brick buildings and churches with steeples, and small-town congregations across both counties meet in frame churches that are often the tallest building around. We route conductors along the lines of the building so the system doesn't change how it looks. See church and steeple lightning protection.

Where the interstates meet

Lake City sits where I-10 and I-75 cross, and we serve the whole Suwannee Valley, from Gainesville to Tallahassee and the Panhandle. Send a few photos and an address, and Joe will call to talk it through.
