By spikes do you mean the copper rods in the ground? http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/ERITECH-Ground-Rod-2KXL8?Pid=search

Ok, so we are talking of the same thing. Well, I am a firm believer in having a good grounding system throughout the house. Usually the problem is either the connection from the ground rod to the house or loose outlets where the connection is not secure. I am remember reading that the reading to earth should be under 10 ohms for the best possible ground, hopefully someone with more information will chime in. Cheers.
