Hello,
I purchased a older farm house a year ago and have been having interment issues with feeling voltage through the older copper plumbing around the house. After doing some experimenting - there appears to be a stray 24V running through all the plumbing regardless if there is power to the main outside box so I assume the problem has to be originating from outside the house. I had the power company come out and they claim their lines tested good but could not verify if the excess 24v was coming in from the pole/transformer (would be on the them to repair) or as a result of problems with the underground wiring to the house (my responsibility). Does anyone have any advice on easily testing this or convincing the power company to verify the cause of the issue?
