General inspection discussions that are visible to everyone.

Hi my name is Tyler Rose and I am new to Internachi. I am enrolled in the CPI program and am currently working on the electrical inspection section. In regards to grounding, I recall reading that all homes should have two sources of grounding. I noticed that my house only has one ground which is a grounding rod and my newer built detached garage (using same power source as house via under ground) has an ufer style ground. Since the house and garage use the same power supply, I suppose this would be considered okay for grounding measures, meaning the power supply does have two grounds? At first thought I expected each structure to have two sources of grounding, regardless of where the power supply comes from.
I hope I am in the right forum to ask such questions, any clarification would help. Thanks

I’m new to the InterNACHI education section. I’m required to participate in the forums? In what manor? I have no questions so I feel like I’ll just muddy up any discussion that’s happening. It’s not laid out in the intro how I’m expected to engage and where/ how etc.
Just make it a habit to read through all of the post. You will find many comments that correct some of the misinformation you may have obtained in your training. Skip the threads and post you’re not interested in. Eventually you’ll get Brave and make a comment or even start a new thread with a question or advice about something you’re concerned with.
