Lake Eufaula homes and cabins
Lake Eufaula is the largest lake entirely in Oklahoma, and homes and cabins line the points and coves north of McAlester toward Eufaula and Canadian. A lake house on a ridge above open water is exposed to every storm that rolls across, and many are empty during the week when storms hit.
We protect the house and can often include boat houses and detached garages. Every waterfront site is different, so we look at photos and talk it through before giving you an estimate. See residential lightning protection.
Cattle ranches and timbered acreage
Pittsburg County is hills, post oak, and pine with cattle pasture in between, and a lot of families live on acreage with a barn, a shop, and hay storage. Out here a metal barn on a hilltop is a common target.
We plan the whole property at once so the grounding ties together and nothing gets left out. See Oklahoma farm and ranch lightning protection.
Homes, churches, and downtown
McAlester and Krebs have older brick homes and churches from the coal-mining days, along with newer subdivisions and ranch-style homes on the edges of town. Many families connected to the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant live in town and nearby. Work on the plant itself goes through its own contracting process.
Steeples, bell towers, and two-story homes with tall chimneys need careful routing. See church and steeple lightning protection and commercial lightning protection.
Rocky ground and how we build
Southeast Oklahoma's sandstone and shale can stop a ground rod short, so we may use extra electrodes, angled rods, or a ground ring, designed for your site.
Joe Linzy is a third-generation lightning rod installer, and every system is designed with the goal of following NFPA 780 and installed to UL 96A, mostly with aluminum conductors and copper where it's needed. We serve McAlester, Pittsburg County, and the Lake Eufaula area. If you already have a system, have it checked after hail or a new roof. See lightning rod repair.
