    Do not use an isolated ground rod. An isolated ground may appear to fix the issue but can be dangerous during electrical storms. Generally all grounded items like plumbing and structure are bonded together to prevent multipath and voltage differential issues. Isolated grounds are generally a violation of code.

    Hope that helps.
    It wouldn't be isolated because you're connecting back to your supply ground.... if I understand this correctly. (bonded vs isolated ground)
