I found this ARTICLE on Chinese Drywall this evening that made me stop and just shake my head again and sigh. As I reflect on this very unfortunate issue, it makes me feel emotions of frustration and sadness. I am amazed at how many resources went into building these homes that has been wasted.
From what I am hearing, most all of the materials used in homes with the Chinese Drywall has to be replaced including: air conditioning units, appliances, carpet, cabinetry, and of course the drywall. The drywall emits a sulfur compound that seeps into everything and corrodes materials that would normally withstand years of wear and tear in a matter of months. Not only is it a huge waste of resources but the health complications that it causes is changing the lives of normally healthy individuals to people with chronic respiratory conditions.
Shane has personally helped several individuals move from their Chinese Drywall Home into rentals. Some of the bigger builders such as Lennar are setting aside money to go in and gut their homes with Chinese Drywall and replace with proper drywall.
If you have questions about whether your Cape Coral or Fort Myers home was built with Chinese Drywall, then I would recommend having your home tested for Chinese Drywall. Please note that most of the Chinese Drywall is being found in homes built between 2005-2007.
If you are buying a Cape Coral or Fort Myers home built between 2005-2007 it is a good idea to also have it tested for Chinese Drywall. Not every home built during that time period does have it, but you definetly want to be sure.
