I've been asked to install an earth electrode.
Do I need to check for pipes underneath where I propose to put the earth rod?
Do I need to perform a CAT scan? I'm not entirely sure what a CAT scan is but if anyone is familiar with it, all information and advice is welcomed.

In my bathroom & toilet I have unsightly hot/cold copper pipes above floor. There is no earth bonding on them.
If I move them to under the floorboards, do I have to have them earth bonded?
Do I have to use a qualified electrician to do them if so?
Thank`s.
