We have to fix electric problems.  I measured 7Gauss on a water pipe
by our washer & dryer.

The main breaker is grounded on the plumbing It goes
down to 1G on all metal in the basement.

The water pipes are touching the duct-work. What can a plumber do about that?.

The gas line has 1 G. Husband looked at it, & the grounded water pipe is next to the gas line,  not on it.

Gas co. said over phone, someone made a mistake & grounded something on it. To remove it. No it's next to it.


We should an electrician install a separate grounding rod?

 Do you have them remove the main electric & cable TV, on the pipes & put them on the rod?

What should I tell the plumber, The past owner had a di-electric coupling put on the water heater? Did the past owner do that to avoid the grounding charge from the main?
