Chinese-Made Drywall is Causing Corrosion

Have you read about the drywall manufactured in China that is corroding pipes, vents, and wiring hidden behind walls in Southwest Florida homes? Click here to read a recent article.

Lennar Homes, the builder in question, commissioned a study which found that the drywall is indeed causing the corrosion but claims that there is no risk to the health of the homes' occupants.

I'm sure that we have not heard the last of this. I wonder how far reaching this problem could be. How was the drywall distributed? Was the defective drywall sold in any other parts of the country? Was it used in commercial projects? Remodels? Schools? Lots of questions come to mind.

I'll let you know when I hear more.
