Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Tioga County is the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon country — farms and dairy barns in the river valleys around Wellsboro, Mansfield, and Tioga, mountain homes and cabins up on the ridges, and lake homes along Hammond Lake, Tioga Lake, and Cowanesque Lake. Summer storms build over the canyon rim and strike the high ground first. We protect the whole property under one plan: farmhouse, barns, pole buildings, and cabins, every building covered.
From the gaslight-lined streets of Wellsboro out through Mansfield, Blossburg, and the farm valleys along Route 6, Tioga County spreads its buildings across some of the most dramatic ground in Pennsylvania. Dairy and crop farms work the valley floors around Elkland, Westfield, and Knoxville; mountain homes and hunting cabins stand alone on the ridges above Pine Creek Gorge; and around Lawrenceville and Tioga, homes line the shores of Cowanesque, Hammond, and Tioga lakes, open to storms that cross the water with nothing to slow them down. Distance is the constant: a strike that starts a barn or cabin fire out a ridge road is a long way from help.
WB Lightning Rods protects Tioga County properties the way we’ve protected farms and homes since 1950 — complete systems designed building by building, then priced as one property plan: the farmhouse, the dairy barn, the pole buildings, and the cabin up the hollow, all in the same design. 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 Wellsboro and Mansfield to Gaines and Liberty — we make old systems great again.
Storm cells pile up along the gorge rim and the high ridges above Pine Creek and break over the valleys. Ridge-top cabins and mountain homes meet those storms before anything else does.
Tioga County’s dairy and crop farms spread their barns and silos across open valley floors, the tallest structures for a mile in every direction — exactly where lightning lands.
Homes on Hammond, Tioga, and Cowanesque lakes stand open to storms crossing the water, often the tallest structure on the shore. The house, garage, and boathouse belong in one plan.
One company for the whole property — farms, mountain homes, cabins, and lake homes, anywhere in Tioga 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.
Low-profile systems designed around the mountain homes and cabins of the canyon country — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines, grounded for rocky ridge soils.
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, pole buildings, cabins, garages, 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 Tioga County specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along farmhouse chimneys, barn ridgelines, silos, cupolas, and the roof peaks of mountain homes and cabins — 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 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, cabins, shops, garages, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Tioga County property is rarely one building, and it should not be protected one building at a time. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design — farmhouse, dairy barn, pole buildings, shops, and cabins, all protected — which costs less per building and leaves no gap between structures. Well pumps, milking equipment, and barn lighting 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 farm outside Wellsboro, the custom homes above Pine Creek, and a lake home on Hammond Lake are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so a cabin at the end of a ridge road is never a slow estimate.
Real WB installations — a roof peak and rod above a mountain valley, plus the barns and farm buildings our crew protects across the Northern Tier.
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.
The remote ones need it most. A cabin standing alone on a ridge is the tallest object on its ground, it may sit empty for weeks between visits, and a strike-started fire can burn a long time before anyone sees it. A system sized to the cabin is straightforward protection for exactly that exposure.
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.
Lakefront homes stand open to storms that cross the water at full strength, and the house is often the tallest structure on the shore. We protect lake homes across the county’s lakes, main house and garage or boathouse together.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, a fence line, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, 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.
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.
