Proving Lightning Damage

If your home or business has been struck by lightning, you may be wondering how to go about proving the damage to your insurance company. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the process of proving lightning damage in Hillsborough County.

There are a few different ways to prove that your property has been struck by lightning. The first is by hiring a qualified electrical engineer to inspect your property and provide a report detailing the damage. This is usually the most expensive option, but it will provide definitive proof of lightning damage.

Another option is to have a certified roofing contractor inspect your property for signs of damage. This option is less expensive than hiring an engineer, but it may not be as definitive. However, a certified roofing contractor will be able to spot signs of lightning damage that the average person might miss.

Finally, you can look for signs of damage yourself. Lightning strikes often leave behind char marks, broken glass, or holes in roofs. If you find any of these things on your property, it's likely that your property was struck by lightning.
