Most lightning protection systems are designed to last the life of the structure and require minimal maintence. However, to ensure that your lightning protection system is fully functional and complies with latest standards and code requirements, Maritime Lighting Protection recommends routine inspections be completed by a licensed lightning protection contractor.
Upon completing an on-site inspection of the lightning protection system, Maritime Lightning Protection will provide the client with a detailed written report of the findings from this inspection. If alterations, repairs or additions are required to the system, to comply with the National Code, these will be noted in the report along with a free estimate to complete this work.
The frequency of the inspection is based upon the type of installation.
While this a basic guideline, any modifications made to your structure; such as roof renovations, an addition or renovation to the structure, the installation of roof top equipment such as HVAC units, ventilators, and satellite dish will require alterations to the lighting protection. An inspection of the lightning protection system should be completed by a licensed contractor to determine what effect these modifications have had on the system and what alterations would be required to the lightning protection system.
