We restore storm damage 24/7 in Orange County.

Our local Buena Park team is highly trained and certified to restore storm damage. Spring storms in La Mirada can bring unexpected lightning strikes, posing risks to residents and their homes. While lightning may seem less common in Southern California, it still has the potential to cause fires, power surges, and structural damage. Taking proactive safety measures can help protect your home and loved ones.

During a thunderstorm, stay indoors and avoid using electrical appliances, as lightning can travel through wiring and cause power surges. Unplugging electronics before a storm arrives can help prevent costly damage. Avoid plumbing fixtures, as lightning can also travel through pipes.

If you're outside when a storm approaches, seek shelter immediately. Avoid open fields and avoid tall objects like trees and power lines. If shelter isn't available, crouch low to the ground with your feet close together to minimize your risk.

After a storm, check your home for signs of damage, such as burn marks, electrical issues, or roof damage. If you suspect a lightning strike has hit your property, contact professionals to inspect and repair any damage. By following these safety precautions, residents can reduce the risks associated with spring storms and keep their homes secure.
