What We Handle
Lightning Damage We Inspect For
A proper lightning-damage electrical repair starts with finding everything
the strike affected, both visible and hidden. Here’s what we
inspect for, day or night.
Hidden Wiring Damage
A strike can burn or degrade wiring inside walls without any visible signs. We test the wiring throughout your property to detect damage that would otherwise remain hidden until it fails.
Surge Damage to the Panel
Lightning sends a massive surge through your system. We inspect the panel, breakers, and connections for surge damage that can lead to faults, overheating, or failure later.
Damaged Outlets & Devices
The surge often reaches outlets, switches, and hardwired devices, damaging them internally even when they still appear to work. We test and identify what’s been compromised.
Appliance & Equipment Faults
The surge can damage connected appliances, HVAC, and electronics. We test the circuits that supply them and identify equipment that has been affected or rendered unsafe.
Grounding & Bonding Integrity
A strike can compromise your grounding and bonding, which are exactly what should protect you. We verify that these critical safety systems are still intact and functioning.
Every inspection is handled by a licensed electrician, with a clear account of what we find.

The real danger of a lightning strike is what it leaves behind out of sight. A strike can look like it did nothing, or it can trip a few breakers and seem to pass, while inside the walls it has degraded wiring, weakened connections, and damaged devices. Our lightning-strike electrical inspection finds the damage that a glance never would.
Surge is how the damage spreads. When a strike occurs, it doesn’t just affect one point; it sends a huge voltage surge through the system to the panel, outlets, wiring, and anything plugged in. That is why a proper lightning-damage electrical repair evaluation will encompass the entire property, not just the area where the lightning strike appeared to have occurred.
Grounding is the system that’s supposed to protect you, and a lightning strike can compromise it. If the grounding or bonding has been compromised, your protection against future faults is gone without any obvious sign. Verifying these systems is a core part of what an electrician should check after a lightning strike, and it’s exactly what we do.
Before We Arrive
What To Do Right Now
If your property has been struck by lightning, take these steps
while we’re on our way.
Check for fire first
If smoke, sparks, or burning is observed anywhere, evacuate the building and call 911. Lightning can start fires within walls that may not be visible.
Unplug sensitive electronics
If it’s safe to do so, unplug computers, TVs, and other sensitive equipment. A damaged circuit can deliver irregular power that can harm connected devices.
Be cautious with power
Do not assume the system is OK just because the lights are working. Do not use outlets or circuits that behaved unusually during or after the strike until we have inspected them.
Call us and describe it

What Our Clients Say
FAQs
What should I do if my house is struck by lightning?
If your house is struck by lightning, first check for signs of fire, such as smoke or a burning smell, and call 911 if you find any. Afterwards, have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical system, as lightning can cause damage that is not visible. Sandiparks provides 24/7 lightning strike electrical inspections across London and Southwestern Ontario after a strike.
Can lightning damage your home's electrical system?
Yes. When lightning strikes a home, it can send a powerful surge through the electrical system, damaging wiring within walls, the electrical panel, outlets, and appliances plugged into the system. This damage may not be immediately noticeable and can lead to future faults or fire hazards. Sandiparks provides a full emergency electrical inspection to identify surge and strike damage throughout the property.
How do I know if lightning damaged my house wiring?
Symptoms of lightning damage include tripped breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, a burning smell, damaged appliances, or scorch marks. However, there is often no visible sign of damage at all; it is hidden inside the walls. It can only be determined by a complete inspection. Sandiparks provides a thorough lightning damage electrical repair assessment to identify hidden wiring and surge damage.
Is it safe to use electricity after a lightning strike?
Not necessarily. Wiring, outlets, and the panel may be internally damaged and unsafe even if the power is still on after a strike, creating fault and fire hazards. If a circuit behaved unusually during the strike, it should not be used until it has been inspected. We recommend an emergency electrical inspection by a licensed electrician before relying on the system again.
Does lightning damage need to be checked by an electrician?
Yes. Lightning damage is often not visible and can compromise wiring, grounding, and safety systems, so it should never be assumed to be OK; a licensed electrician should always check it. A professional inspection is also frequently needed for insurance claims. Sandiparks provides an electrician after a lightning strike to inspect and document the damage.
Do you inspect businesses after a lightning strike too?
Yes. Sandiparks provides lightning strike inspections in London, Ontario, and surrounding areas for restaurants, retail units, offices, and other commercial properties, with the same 24/7 response as for residential calls. Because a strike can damage costly equipment and systems, commercial inspections are treated with the same urgency.
