Avoiding Flooring Failure—Insist on Moisture Testing

In electrical terms, ground is the safe point of discharge of unwanted static electricity. Ground represents “zero electrical potential.” When something is grounded, it’s neutral; it has no charge. Attaching a conductive floor to ground ensures that the static charges will be diverted to the earth through the conductive floor system. Typical grounds include: electrical conduit, building steel, copper bus bars and steel rods buried in the earth.
