Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Lycoming is Pennsylvania’s largest county by land — farms in the West Branch and Muncy valleys, mountain homes up the Loyalsock and Pine Creek country, and gas-country shops and outbuildings across the ridges. One of the state’s top gas-producing counties works under some of its most intense ridge lightning. We protect the whole property under one plan: farmhouse, barns, pole buildings, and shops, every building covered.
Lycoming County spreads its exposure across two landscapes. In the south, the West Branch Susquehanna valley — Williamsport, South Williamsport, Montoursville, Jersey Shore — and the farm valleys around Muncy, Hughesville, and Montgomery hold dairy and crop farms whose barns and silos stand alone in open fields, plus riverfront homes along the West Branch standing open above the water and custom homes in the growing neighborhoods around Loyalsock Township and Montoursville. In the north, mountain homes and camps climb the Loyalsock Creek and Little Pine country around Trout Run, Ralston, and English Center, many of them empty between visits. Over it all, this is one of the biggest gas-producing counties in Pennsylvania — well pads, compressor sites, and equipment shops on cleared ridge tops, each one a tall metal structure standing in open ground.
WB Lightning Rods protects Lycoming County properties the way we’ve protected farms and homes since 1950 — complete systems designed building by building, then priced as one property plan, on the same Northern Tier routes we run through the shale country. Every system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines with UL-listed materials made in the USA, installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner. We also inspect and repair older systems across the county, from Williamsport out to Picture Rocks and Salladasburg — we make old systems great again.
Lycoming is among Pennsylvania’s biggest gas producers. Pads, shops, and equipment buildings sit on cleared ridge tops — the highest, most open ground in the county, built of the metal lightning finds first.
Muncy valley and West Branch farms spread barns and silos across open fields, the tallest structures for a mile — holding the herd, the feed, and a season of crops.
Loyalsock and Pine Creek country homes and camps stand alone on ridge ground and sit empty for weeks. A strike-started fire up a hollow road burns long before it’s seen.
One company for the whole property — farms, custom homes, mountain homes, gas-country shops, and riverfront homes, anywhere in Lycoming County and across Pennsylvania statewide.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Systems designed around the mountain homes and camps of the Loyalsock and Pine Creek country — sized to the building, grounded for rocky ridge soils, and built to be working when you’re not there.
Discreet, low-profile systems for older farmhouses and historic homes — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines, protection you have to look for to see.
Barns, stables, and arenas protected along with the residence — horses, hay, and tack, all covered.
Agricultural buildings, equipment shops, and hay storage — the tallest structures on the farm, and the ones lightning finds first.
We protect all of your buildings — farmhouse, dairy barns, shops, garages, silos, and outbuildings — with a lifetime of protection. Multi-building packages price the whole property together, so protecting everything costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Mature oaks, maples, and specimen trees protected with their own terminals and grounding, so a shade tree never becomes the strike path to your roof.
Neighbors who install together save together — neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages for your street, road, or lake shore.
Complete installations and repairs — that’s the work. Already have a system? We inspect it, repair storm damage and wear, and bring older installations up to current NFPA 780 standards. We make old systems great again.
Building new? We design and install protection while the home or barn is going up — cleaner cable runs, nothing retrofitted after the fact.
Every WB system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines using UL-listed materials made in the USA — and designed for Lycoming County specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along farmhouse chimneys, barn ridgelines, silos, shop roofs, and the peaks of mountain homes — the high points lightning seeks first.
Heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, carrying strike energy safely down and away from the structure.
Deep-driven ground rods at each structure, worked into valley soils, riverbank lots, and rocky ridge ground so strike energy disperses quickly and safely into the earth.
Metal roofing, gutters, water lines, and electrical services bonded to the protection system, so stray current can’t side-flash between metal parts.
Dairy barns, pole buildings, equipment shops, run-in sheds, garages, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Lycoming County property is rarely one building, and it should not be protected one building at a time. Our packages price the whole property as one design — farmhouse, dairy barn, pole buildings, shops, and silos, all protected — which costs less per building and leaves no gap between structures. Milking equipment, well pumps, and shop wiring all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
Neighbors along the same valley road who install together share one trip and one setup, and because WB serves all of Pennsylvania statewide, a Muncy valley farm, a Williamsport home, and a camp above Trout Run are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so a property at the end of a hollow road is never a slow estimate.
Real WB installations — a working bank barn protected by our crew, plus stables and mountain rooflines fitted by our own installers.
Many quotes are built from satellite imagery of your home — fast, accurate, and no obligation. Call 1-800-557-9037.
Our experienced crew installs the system, and every installation is personally supervised by the owner, start to finish.
Lifetime warranty on parts and labor, with a 5-year maintenance check at no cost. Then you watch Pennsylvania storms the calm way.
They stand on cleared ridge tops — the highest, most open ground around — and they’re metal buildings holding machinery and electrical gear. A strike there risks the building and everything in it. Shops and pole buildings are part of the property plan we design, grounded like every other structure.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building farm packages cover the farmhouse, dairy barn, pole buildings, shops, and silos under one plan, priced together so protecting everything costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, a fence line, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, milking equipment, well pumps, and electronics. That’s why grounding and bonding matter as much as the rods on the roof: a properly grounded system gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth at the structure itself.
That’s exactly who needs a system working without them. A strike-started fire in an empty camp burns long before anyone sees it. A properly grounded system is on duty every storm, all season, whether you’re there or not.
We do — inspections and repairs are core work for us. We check terminals, cables, connections, and grounding, repair storm damage and wear, and bring older installations up to current NFPA 780 standards. We make old systems great again.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Multi-building packages price properties together, which brings the per-building cost down. Estimates are free — many are built from satellite imagery of your property — and every system carries a lifetime warranty on parts and labor.
