Michael, Thanks for the comment. I will be updating my blog about Chinese Drywall next week. It appears it is not a problem in our area. But, it does appear to be huge growing problem in Louisana and a lot of Southern seaport cities. Good Luck!

I live in a Covington Louisiana subdivision that has problems post-Katrina/Rita with Chinese drywall. Many of my neighbors have been inspected. Most have the Chinese drywall. A class-action has been filed against the builder and “others” as the drama unfolds. Here we go again.

It will be interesting to watch this unfold.

New construction has taken such a hit in Michigan during the last few years that I don’t know if we will even see the problem up here.

We are helping a buyer with a new condo this week so I’ll probably have a chance to discuss it with the home inspector then.

Thanks for the post!

I think it is a little premature to put a number on this event. We have not yet agreed on the analytical testing yet. We have not even determined the remedial scope or protocols to clean this mess up. Good luck getting any money out of the Chinese companies. Then there are the insurance companies some of the contractors and distributors are not even covered for this so the insurance companies will say. We do not know what long term damage to the health or the property is going to be. Too many questions still unanswered. I have met with some of the top experts in the IAQA field and from around the country in the last month and as an environmental investigator and consultant for 15 years, I think we have a long road ahead of us. Beware of guarantee solution to fixing the problem i.e. fogs, foam, sprays hell we don’t even know if this stuff has embedded into the wooden substrates in the wall. We have been getting calls from Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana and Mississippi. We now have evidence of possible fraud we can probable link back to the manufacture or distributors. We would be interested in hearing from people experiencing Chinese Sheetrock problems every case seems to have different details and precursors. We are putting a team of experts together to tackle the long term effects and to opine on the scope and protocols to properly remediate the homes and all the effected personal property.
