Chinese Drywall

What you need to know about Chinese drywall

Chinese drywall problems are not hard to detect. You may have defective Chinese drywall if you notice an unpleasant odor, such as a rotten egg smell in your home or notice electrical problems.

While more than 50 percent of the homes with Chinese drywall were built in Florida, the Chinese drywall problem has been an increasing concern in other states, particularly for homeowners who live in houses build during the housing boom between 2004 and 2006. Twenty-three states have reported problems with Chinese drywall.

The following are symptoms that your home may have Chinese drywall:

• Sulfur-based gas smell
• Lights blinking on and off, indicating a possible electrical problem
• Wood furniture discoloration
• Tarnishing of silver jewelry or flatware
• Occupants of the home experiencing illness, such as allergy attacks, eye irritations, bloody nose, dizzy spells, insomnia, upper respiratory problems, headaches
