What Lightning Can Do to a Home
A lightning strike can start a fire in the attic, crack a chimney, blow holes in the roof, split framing and damage wiring. Some damage is obvious, and some, like a smoldering fire in the attic or damaged wiring, is hidden.
Select Restoration responds to lightning strikes 24/7. We secure the property, inspect for hidden fire and structural damage, clean up smoke and water, and rebuild. An electrician should check the wiring after any strike, and we coordinate with them.
Our emergency team works to minimize secondary damage after any storm.
No ladders. No one on your roof.
Free Drone Roof Inspections in Michigan
After lightning damage, we can inspect your roof with our drone at no cost to you. It flies over every slope and takes close-up photos and video of your shingles, flashing, vents and gutters, so we can show you exactly what happened without anyone climbing up there.

If the photos point to damage underneath, like a soft spot in the roof deck, our crew confirms it up close before any repair work starts.
