Indiana’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Geist Reservoir puts big homes on open water — tall rooflines and shoreline trees standing over a wide, flat lake, with nothing higher around them when Indiana storms roll across Hamilton County. Fishers behind the shore is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, full of tall new roofs under young trees. We protect the whole property: main house, garages, boat houses, and the shoreline trees, every part designed into one plan.
Open water changes the strike picture. A lake home’s roof is the high point on its stretch of shore, and the mature trees along the banks stand higher still — lightning works the shoreline first. Storms build over the flat county and cross Geist at full strength all summer, when the lake is at its busiest. A strike to a shoreline tree can side-flash into the roof or run through roots to the foundation; a strike to a chimney can tear masonry and send destructive current through every circuit in the house, from the dock wiring to the panel.
WB Lightning Rods protects Fishers and Geist homes the way we’ve protected lake and custom homes since 1950: low-profile systems designed around the architecture, lakefront trees protected with their own terminals and grounding where they stand close, and whole-property packages that design the house, garages, and boat houses into one plan. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, built to NFPA 780 guidelines with UL-listed materials made in the USA.
On open water, the tallest structure on the shoreline is simply where lightning lands. Geist’s lake homes carry that exposure on every roof, dock, and boat house.
The trees that make a Geist lot are the same trees that take strikes beside it. Lightning protection for the trees themselves keeps a shade tree from becoming the strike path to your roof.
Fishers’ growth means thousands of tall, multi-peak roofs in new neighborhoods — complex rooflines that need terminals at every high point, not a single rod and a hope.
One company for the whole property — lakefront homes, garages, boat houses, and shoreline trees, anywhere around Geist and across Fishers.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Discreet, low-profile systems for Geist’s lakefront homes and Fishers’ custom homes — clean runs that respect the architecture and the roofline.
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, garages, boat 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 lakefront homes specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, peaks, and cupolas — the high points lightning seeks first on tall lakefront and neighborhood homes.
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 the soils around the reservoir — 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.
Garages, boat houses, guest houses, and sheds incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Geist property is rarely just a house. Boat houses and docks carry their own wiring, garages stand detached, and shoreline trees stand over all of it. Our multi-building packages price the whole lot as one design — house, boat house, garages, and trees, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them.
The same thinking applies lot by lot along the shore. Neighbors who install in the same trip earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Indiana statewide, a Geist home and a farm elsewhere in the state under the same owner are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.

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.
They carry a different kind of exposure: the roof is the high point on the shoreline, storms cross open water at full strength, and tall shoreline trees stand in the same strike zone. A designed system covers the house, the boat house, and the close-standing trees together.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Multi-building packages price the property 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. A strike to a nearby tree, the water, or the ground itself — or one that hits utility lines down the road — can send a damaging surge through wiring, dock circuits, 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 shoreline tree close to a house 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.
Yes. When several homes on the same shore or street 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 only takes one organizer to get it started.
Yes. Multi-building packages cover the main house, garages, boat houses, and outbuildings 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.
