Q: I am hearing about homes being built with Chinese drywall, how do I know if my home was built using Chinese drywall?

Having your home assessed by a a qualified inspection company is strongly recommended if you are concerned or believe your home may have Chinese drywall. As a result of the building material shortages that began in 2003, many builders throughout the State of Florida used Chinese imported drywall . This type of drywall may cause the release of sulfur and other materials which may pose health risks. These fumes may cause air-conditioning evaporator coils to corrode and fail, and pipes and wiring to deteriorate. You can also find more information about Chinese drywall by searching Google.
