Own or Buying a House Built | 2003-2008?

At the beginning of the presentation @ ORRA, I was given this disclosure, so I will pass that along with this BLOG POST:

Everything I tell you will be true, accurate, and correct … but may be wrong.

Years of Effected Home(s): 2003-2008.

Chinese Drywall is called many different things: Chinese Drywall, Toxic Drywall, Defective Drywall, Problematic Drywall, Suspect Drywall, Tainted Drywall, Reactive Drywall, Skunk Board (because of its stench prior to its installment)

Chinese Drywall is created from Natural Gypsum, it has a sulfur smell and corrodes and blackens metal. It damages electrical wiring, basically eats at the house (anything metal, including the Plasma TV) - slowly, but could happen within 6 weeks.

The first signs of Chinese Drywall damage are usually in the bathroom or under sinks, where air flow are minimal.

If your home has Chinese Drywall: Be aware of bogus testing and quick cure remedies that falsely claim to remove the corrosive properties of the drywall. According to the presenter, only a VISUAL inspection can determine what kind of drywall it is.
