How can you tell by looking at the ground connection if it is a ufer ground?

If it's connected to the steel in the footing, it's a Ufer ground. Look for a connection to rebar.

The ground connection is supposed to be accessible (or at least visible). Around here, the GEC connection to the rebar is typically behind a blank cover plate near the panel inside the garage. If you see a GEC outside, it is probably to ground rods and not a UFER.

Hi,

I had an ufer yesterday where the rebar extends up through a hole drilled in the sill and the SGC is clamped to the SGE just above the sill in the crawlspace. First one I've had of those.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!
