Summary

A lightning strike caused a roof fire and left this Newberry home without power after the fire department pulled the meter for safety. Our main goal was to make sure the electrical system was safe to restore and ready for inspection, giving the homeowners a clear path forward after a stressful event.

The Work

Carried out a full inspection and tested all accessible circuits, service equipment, and the main electrical panel
Verified polarity, grounding, GFCI function, voltage, and appliance power
Documented all findings with a written report and floor-plan for insurance and inspection needs
Managed the permit process, utility coordination, and inspection scheduling for the city

The Outcome

The electrical system passed city inspection and was cleared for meter reinstallation. The homeowners received detailed documentation for insurance and were able to safely move forward with repairs.
