Americas Watchdog's Homeowners Consumer Center is now saying the toxic Chinese drywall situation 1000 times worse that they ever dreamed. "Not only is the drywall in every US state, including Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas, it is also in Canada and Australia. Even worse, aside from turning electrical wiring or copper black, exposure to the toxic Chinese drywall could make homeowners, or their families very sick. Exposure could even kill."
The Homeowners Consumer Center is strongly advising homeowners in Florida and Virginia to not take home builders offers of a quick fix re-drywall, until they know more. "If the gasses emitted from the toxic Chinese drywall has been absorbed by a home's studs, plywood, trusses, carpets and furniture, the home might have to be bulldozed. This is the worst environmental disaster ever faced by US homeowners." For more information please contact the Homeowners Consumer Center at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com or contact the group at 866-714-6466.
Note to US Homebuilders: "We have just spent the week in Florida. Homes you say have no Chinese toxic drywall in fact do have it. Stop lying to US homeowners, or we will make Hell look like a five star resort for your corporation."
What are the indications of toxic Chinese drywall?
- The house has to have been built or remodeled after 2000. Most homes that will have the toxic Chinese drywall were built between 2004 and 2007
- There may be a rotten egg, sulfur-type, or acid type smell in the home or condominium.
- Homeowners, building owners, or occupants in most cases will have seen continuous failures of their air conditioning coils, or HVAC units beyond anything normal.
- Homeowners, building owners, or occupants may have noticed corroded, or black electrical wiring in their walls, in properties built, or remodeled since 2001.
- Homeowners who suspect their home may have the Chinese drywall can remove electrical receptacle plates to see if the cooper ground wire has turned black. If a homeowner in any state sees this, they should call the Homeowners Consumer Center immediately at 866-714-6466.
