Grounding near French Drain

I am wanting to put up my mast and ground rod. I had my basement done by Everdry. They put a French drain around my home that dumps the water into a drain and sump pump in my basement. I am thinking it's not a good idea to put a ground rod or mast in the ground near the drain. If it is hit by lighting, it could get into the drain and cook my sump pump. Question: should I move the ground rod and mast away from the home?

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
