I only get shocked by the water in the kitchen sink. I have a gas water heater. I also had an electrician put in a grounding rod. What else could it be?

You didn't say what else you were touching. The sink alone would not shock you. You must be touching some appliance at the same time. If so the appliance or the outlet to the appliance is either wired wrong or the ground for your power panel is not secure (or wired correctly). That is likely where you need the ground rod connected to.

i visit objective to be sparkling in my reaction. you may ask your self those questions and answer them . before mildew remediation, did you have this surprising journey? . I take off swap-plate covers all of the time as they're often plastic and placed them back on without subject.because it has no longer something to do with the electric. . Ceramic does not habit electrical energy. under no circumstances has. . Moisture on ceramic tile (including steam) will habit electrical energy. metallic conducts electrical energy moist or dry. . the only electric entity everywhere close to that's a wall outlet some foot away, in element of the wall coated with the comparable ceramic tile because of the fact the section around the sink. you've gotten get admission to to the fuse-container or breakers. you decide on a plug in radio which you employ that plug and turn on the radio loud adequate to be heard down on the fuse container. Now get to the breakers and turn the switches one after the different till the radio dies. bypass away that breaker off. See if the surprising maintains. you will could hint it back that way and beginning with the closest outlet seems the main rational ingredient to do. . someplace the wall is touching the outlet screws and is touching the metallic sink piping so as which could imply maximum anybody or the wall floor that may imply maximum one and all. you will may be the "guinea pig" for slightly till you come back up with a ineffective outlet = ineffective sink section. Now you got here upon it. An electrician can fix it or handyman. so it is repowered and not touch the sink section.

Get that electrician back out there and tell him what's going on. He's got a "dead short" somewhere and it's shorting out against the sink, which is grounded, your looking at a potentially deadly situation here.

This is potentially dangerous. Get the electrician back out there and tell him to do the job he was paid for.
Meanwhile, keep away so you don't get shocked.

do you live in the city or in the counrty? because if you have your own well your water pump could be shorting out causeing you to be shocked by the water. I have seen this happen before.

try adding a CFI outlet installed instead of regular plug outlets
