To clarify, you have a short and inadequate grounding system. If the ground
system was right the short would trip the breaker. It isn't doing that so
you may have a dangerous situation in the house. Since you don't seem to
know much about electricity, get some one to fix it that does.



A short will only trip a regular breaker if it exceeds the current
rating. He could easily have a short of 100ma to ground, which can
still kill, but not trip a breaker. It would trip a GFCI, but not a
regular breaker.

You have a bad short, probably costing you 10-20$+ a month, if you have
a ground strap on your pipes dont play around testing removing it unless
you Know what your doing and you dont. Id suggest an electrician will
fix it safely.
