There is a possible Chinese drywall cure that may be just around the corner. New York based Sabre Technical Services, a biological hazard response company that has used chlorine dioxide to treat buildings contaminated with anthrax, may have an affordable and attractive solution to homes plagued with Chinese
drywall.
Chlorine Dioxide has been known to deactivate sulfur compounds for some time. The question for Chinese drywall cleanup was if the gas would penetrate through the drywall and re-mediate the sulfur throughout structures. Recent tests in the Fort Myers area by Sabre indicate that with the proper application of chlorine dioxide gas, penetration is deep enough to neutralize the sulfur and deactivate it into sulfate, a harmless and non-toxic substance.
When applied, the gas does have bleaching effects, so residents are wise to remove all belongings from an infected house during the decontamination treatment. Estimated cost to clean up a structure are between $10-$15 per square foot. Treatment will take only a few days as compared to the previously expensive and time consuming procedures of removing all the drywall from a structure.
This method has great promise for homeowners affected with Chinese drywall. Currently the government as well as insurance companies are reviewing the process and it's effectiveness. Hopefully, no negative issues will arise and approval for this procedure will come quickly.
Getting ready for a big move? You can't begin preparing too soon, because the average move takes over 200 hours! Count on your real estate representative to provide advice and guidance during this seemingly monumental task.
Your first decision is whether to hire a moving company, or rent a moving van and ask friends and family for help. If you're using the pros, solicit quotes from several local companies who can visit your home and offer an accurate quote.
Next, begin sorting piles of items you'll want to sell in yard sales, donate to charities, or haul to the landfill. This is a great opportunity to give back to the community, and make a few bucks on the pieces you'll sell. Anything you eliminate now will lower moving costs later.
DO create an inventory of your belongings, in case you need to file an insurance claim for lost or damaged goods. Allow the professionals to do your packing, because if you don't, those items that you wrap and pack won't be covered by the mover's insurance policy.
Finally, invest in additional insurance with the movers and storage facility, if needed. It only costs about $10 for every $1,000 in high value items, so it's worth it for your peace of mind. Ask your agent for more details to make your move as stress-free as possible.
