Coal-country history and old buildings
Crawford County grew on coal mining, and the old strip pits are now lakes and wildlife areas. Many older downtown buildings and churches in Pittsburg, Frontenac, and Arma date from that era, with tall brick walls and parapets that need careful layout. See church and steeple lightning protection and commercial lightning protection.
Southeast Kansas farms
Crawford County has cattle, hay, and crop farms with barns, shops, and bins on open ground, often in the corner of the state where Kansas meets Missouri and Oklahoma. See farm lightning protection.
Storm checks
Southeast Kansas gets frequent spring thunderstorms with hail and wind that can bend air terminals. A check after a major storm is wise. See lightning protection inspection.

FAQ
Pittsburg lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve Frontenac, Girard, and Arma?

Can you reinstall after a new roof?
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Pittsburg?
Every system is priced for the building, so we don't quote a flat number. The main factors are roof size and height, the number of chimneys, dormers, and ridges, the roof material, how many buildings need protection, and the soil where the ground rods go. We give a free written estimate for Crawford County properties after looking at the site.
Will lightning rods make my building more likely to be hit?
No. A lightning rod does not draw lightning to a building. It gives a strike that was already going to hit the structure a planned, low-resistance path along conductors to ground, so the current is less likely to pass through framing, wiring, or plumbing.
Will lightning rods lower my insurance in Crawford County?
It is worth asking your agent. Some insurers take lightning protection into account on homes, barns, and churches, but policies differ. We can give you a written description of the system we installed for your records.
