Hi Guys -
New member here and I wanted to ask a question. I've had some issues with the electric on my new house, let me break it down for better understanding.
1) We had copper running directly to the Ufer without any issues. Someone came and stole the copper so it failed the first inspection.
2) They ran 2 grounding rods (since a direct connection to the Ufer couldn't be made) and the inspector failed it again. He said it needed to go to the Ufer.
3) They removed the grounding rods and spliced together two pieces of copper to the Ufer. The inspection passed.
4) Our 3rd party inspector said he recommended adding one continues piece of copper to the two grounding rods. He then recommend that we splice the copper from the Ufer to the first grounding rod.
5) Please check out the pictures and let me know if this is sufficient and safe.
If you look at Pictures 1-6 that tells the story from start to finish
