Chinese Drywall And Wallboard

South Carolina and North Carolina Attorneys who handle Chinese Drywall cases

During the construction boom in the 2003 to 2006 time frame, drywall (sheetrock or wallboard) manufactured in China has been installed in new housing throughout the nation including in South Carolina and North Carolina. Literally millions of square feet of this product has been imported and distributed for use in homes just like yours. The drywall is reportedly made with a improper ingredient which causes it emit sulfur and sulfur compounds. This "off gasing" of sulfur is causing problems in copper in homes' plumbing, electrical and air conditioning systems. Most alarming is the yet unclear potential for health danger.

Ask yourself these simple questions:

• Is your new home in South Carolina or North Carolina smell like rotten eggs, spent firecrackers, rust or metallic smells?
• Has your air conditioning, wiring, or plumbing required frequent repairs?

The cause of these and related problems may be defective Chinese drywall. This has or will cause extensive damage to many people's homes and offices; some have spent thousands of dollars in repairs to their pipes, wiring, and heat and air conditioning systems. The problem is widespread.
