What I don't understand is how to find impedance down earth pipe and
at socket with a multimeter.


In practice, you can't. You need a proper tester which just looks a bit
like a multi-meter. It puts a very large load to earth on the circuit for
a fraction of a second and measures the current flow, and from that
calculates the impedance.
They are quite expensive devices and need regular calibration.
