Local Properties
Typical properties we protect in Wharton County
Rice dryers & grain bins
Rice is a major crop in the county, and grain dryers, elevators, and bins stand tall across flat farmland.
Farm shops & equipment barns
Large metal shops store and service tractors, combines, and other equipment.
Irrigation pumps & controls
Rice irrigation relies on pumps and electrical controls that are vulnerable to lightning surges.
Hunting camps & farmhouses
Waterfowl hunting draws visitors each season, and camps and farmhouses sit alone on open land.
Weather & Ground
Weather and ground conditions in Wharton County
Wharton County is nearly flat coastal plain with deep clay and loam soils. The Colorado River runs through the county, and the land is well suited to rice, cotton, and grain.
With few trees and flat ground, tall grain structures and buildings are highly exposed to Gulf-driven thunderstorms.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

Wharton County lightning protection FAQ
Do grain dryers and bins need lightning protection?
Tall metal grain structures should be properly bonded and grounded, and some need air terminals. We evaluate each structure's height, construction, and connected equipment.
Can surge protection help irrigation pumps?
Yes. Surge protective devices on pump panels and controls help reduce damage from nearby strikes.
Do you protect hunting camps?
Yes. Camps, cabins, and bunkhouses on open land can be protected with a system sized to the building.
Do you serve El Campo and East Bernard?
Yes, along with Wharton, Boling, Louise, Hungerford, and the rest of the county.
