Is it true that metal plumbing lines can contribute an EMF problem?
Yes, in some houses, this can be true. Electrical codes require that metal plumbing lines be grounded to minimize the danger of electrical shock. This is important, and an excellent thing to do. However, there are situations where the plumbing lines (or natural-gas lines) can actually be carrying a small amount of electricity. If this is the case, the metal pipes can be surrounded by magnetic fields. These situations can be difficult to diagnose and fix, but it can be done. One thing that’s important to remember—you should never remove any plumbing-line grounding connections. 58. Can my house have an EMF problem because of something in my neighbor’s house? That can occur. It usually happens when there’s a water-pipe grounding problem in one house, and two or more houses are interconnected by underground metal pipes. In some cases, high-strength EMFs throughout a neighborhood can be traced to a single problem in one house. Electricians wishing to learn how to diagnose and solve EMF-grou
