Chinese Drywall Problem
The nightmare known as Chinese drywall began as early as 2001 and peaked when the domestic supply could not keep up with the demand caused by the housing boom and Hurricane Katrina. Chinese drywall is also being called Defective drywall and Reactive drywall.Chinese sheet rock is likely to be the largest product liability issue the construction industry has ever seen. Defective drywall has been conclusively linked, by the Consumer Products Safety Commission, to drastically accelerated corrosion.
It is estimated that in 2006 alone more than 550 million pounds of drywall were imported from China. Seventeen to twenty different markings or stamps identifying Toxic Drywall have been found.
Chinese Drywall Remediation
Most individuals cannot afford to remediate once, much less twice. Become educated, you must ask the hard questions.- How was the process or protocol developed? Scientific basis?
- Is defective drywall being left in the home?
- How are the toxic gases absorbed into porous building materials and personal belongings removed?
- Is there redundancy or a backup system in place for the unknown?
- Is there third party quality inspections and end of job review?
- Does the protocol qualify for a certified remediation warranty?
Many first generation Chinese dyrwall remediation efforts are failing; don’t allow this to happen to you.
