Looking for anyone who may have installed a ground rod in a basement before. I am moving into my first house this weekend and was concerned about the grounding situation. What I am thinking about doing is drilling a hole slightly larger than the ground rod in the corner of my basement slab and installing the rod through that and finnaly sealing around the ground rod and concrete with an epoxy. I am pretty sure that water is not much of an isuue here. I was in the house after about 3 inches of rain and the sump was dry.I also noticed that there is no concrete in the bottom of the sump. Just gravel.Im about 20 feet from cold water pipes and don't want to run my ground horizontaly for that distance. Just curious to see any other ideas..
