Lightning Damage Electrical Assessment
After a suspected lightning event, document the observed electrical problems and any direction from responders, the utility or the insurer. Assessment should be based on the affected systems and the agreed investigation scope.

Document the electrical symptoms after the event
An electrical assessment cannot guarantee that every hidden defect or future equipment failure will be identified. Findings and proposed corrections should be recorded within the agreed scope.
Gather existing utility or insurer instructions
Event timing, symptoms, visibly damaged equipment from a safe position, utility reports and the insurer’s requested documentation.
Agree the assessment and reporting boundaries
Affected equipment, access, testing/documentation requirements and whether other specialist assessments are needed.
Common questions
Can an assessment guarantee every hidden defect is found?
No. Findings apply to the agreed investigation scope; an assessment cannot guarantee that every hidden defect or later failure will be identified.
What should I send with a lightning-damage enquiry?
Describe the event timing, affected equipment, observed symptoms and any documentation requested by the utility, responders or insurer.
