Indiana’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
From Carmel and Zionsville’s neighborhoods to the central corn belt’s pole barns and grain farms, the dairy country up north, and the horse farms along the Ohio River, WB Lightning Rods protects Indiana properties statewide — the way we’ve protected homes and farms since 1950.
Indiana is storm country and farm country at the same time. Spring and summer cells build over the flat central fields and fire across the state all season, and the buildings stand exposed: farmhouses at the end of long lanes, pole barns and equipment barns in open fields, grain bins and silos as the tallest points for a mile, dairy barns in the northwest, horse barns in the Shelbyville and southern hills, and lake homes standing over open water up north. In the suburbs — Carmel, Zionsville, Geist, Granger — tall roofs and taller trees share the same strike zone. A strike to a barn roof can ignite hay and framing in minutes, and a strike to a chimney can tear masonry and send destructive current through every circuit in the house.
WB Lightning Rods works all over Indiana — the Indianapolis metro counties, Fort Wayne, South Bend and Granger, Evansville and Newburgh, the southern horse country across from Louisville, the central corn belt, dairy country, and the northern lakes. We protect the whole property: the house, the barns, the shops, and the trees that shade them, every building designed into the plan. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, and many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so getting protected starts with one call.
Across central Indiana, pole barns, equipment barns, and grain bins stand in flat fields with nothing taller around for hundreds of yards. The tallest structure is simply where lightning lands — and on a corn farm that’s the barn.
Cells that form over Illinois and the flat Indiana fields arrive at full strength, from the lake country down to the Ohio River. Farmhouses, barns, and lake homes take them with no high ground to hide behind.
From Meridian Hills’ old canopy to farmhouse shade trees and lakefront oaks, Indiana’s mature trees stand over roofs everywhere. A strike to a tree beside the house is a strike path to the roof — protection covers both.
One company for the whole property — homes, farms, horse farms, barns, trees, and every building in between, anywhere in Indiana.
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 good architecture — Carmel and Indianapolis custom homes, Zionsville and South Bend historic homes, and lake homes on Wawasee and Maxinkuckee.
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 — main house, barns, shops, guest houses, 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 Indiana specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on Indiana properties.
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 every down conductor, sized for local soils — from central Indiana clay to the sandy ground of the lake country — so strike energy disperses 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.
Barns, pole barns, equipment shops, guest houses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
WB’s Indiana work follows the state’s own map. Around Indianapolis it’s the metro counties — Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, and the city’s north side. Out in the middle it’s the corn belt: farmhouses, pole barns, equipment barns, and grain operations across some of the flattest, most open ground in America. North, it’s dairy country and the lakes; south, the horse farms in the Ohio River hills; and Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Evansville anchor their own corners of the state.
Wherever your property sits, the approach is the same: the whole property protected under one plan, priced together so multiple buildings cost less per building, and installed by our own crew under the owner’s personal supervision. A corn farm in the middle of the state and a lake house on Wawasee are one call, one company.
Twelve regions, one crew, one standard of work — pick your part of the state.
Hamilton County’s custom homes and tree-lined neighborhoods — chimneys above mature canopy under fast-building Indiana storm cells.
Boone County’s village streets and horse properties — historic homes, barns, and paddocks along wooded lanes west of Indianapolis.
Lakefront homes on Geist and the fast-growing neighborhoods of Fishers — tall roofs standing over open water and open sky.
Meridian Hills, Williams Creek, and the Meridian-Kessler corridor — older custom homes under some of the oldest trees in the city.
Southwest Allen County’s custom-home neighborhoods and small farms — tall rooflines across open ground west of the city.
Granger’s subdivisions and South Bend’s historic homes — lake-effect country where storms build fast off the big lake.
Warrick County’s river towns and growing neighborhoods — homes along the Ohio River bluffs and farms on the county’s open ground.
Jeffersonville, New Albany, and Sellersburg — horse farms in the hills across the river from Louisville’s horse country.
The corn belt’s farmhouses, pole barns, equipment barns, and grain setups — tall structures standing alone in flat, open fields.
Horse farms and boarding barns around Shelbyville and the Indiana Grand racing grounds — barns, arenas, and run-in sheds in open pasture.
Dairy farms across Jasper County and northwest Indiana — freestall barns, parlors, and silos holding a herd and a livelihood.
Lake Wawasee, Lake Maxinkuckee at Culver, and the Angola lakes — lakefront homes and tall shoreline trees under open water sky.
Real WB installations by our own crew — custom homes, dairy barns, horse farms, and pole barns.
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 Indiana storms the calm way.
Every part of the system works together — rods on the roof, low-profile cables, and deep-driven grounds carry a strike safely into the earth.
Yes — WB serves all of Indiana, statewide. Our crews run the Indianapolis metro, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Evansville, the southern horse country, the central corn belt, dairy country, and the northern lakes on regular routes, and many quotes are built from satellite imagery so distance never slows down getting your estimate.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Farm and multi-building packages price multiple buildings 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.
Yes. When several homes or farms on the same road install in the same trip, everyone shares the travel and setup — and we pass that saving on as a neighborhood discount on multi-home packages. It’s the most affordable way to protect a whole neighborhood, and it only takes one organizer to get it started.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for farms cover the farmhouse, barns, pole barns, shops, and silos under one plan — we protect all of your buildings, with a lifetime of protection, and pricing the property together costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, fence line, or the ground itself — or one that hits 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.
Yes. A tall tree close to a house or barn can side-flash a strike into the roof, or send current through its roots toward the foundation. We install lightning protection for trees themselves — their own terminals and grounding — and we factor nearby trees into every property design.
