Older homes can have grounding and bonding arrangements that changed as panels, plumbing and circuits were altered. We review the relevant parts of the installation, explain the concerns we find, and plan corrections to the requirements that apply to your project.
Tell us about previous service changes, plumbing replacements, detached buildings or wiring work that may affect the evaluation. We consider the service equipment, grounding electrodes, piping and equipment connections together. Adding a ground rod by itself does not establish that the entire system is correctly grounded and bonded.
This work often fits into a panel repair, service upgrade or older-home wiring project. We discuss the reason for each correction and the approved scope before proceeding. Accessible photos may help describe the request, but the actual installation needs to be evaluated where a diagnosis is required.
