Evaluating Chinese Drywall Company Nashville Testing Options

Chinese Drywall Company Nashville is a developing problem. The drywall, imported sometime from 2000 and 2008, emits gases that cause severe corrosion. These gases have been unofficially linked to adverse health effects including headaches, sinus infections, coughing, itching, eye and throat irritation.

The Consumer Products Safety Drywall Contractor Nashville has confirmed a link between this material and the corrosion that has occurred. Many homes have reported air conditionings, appliances, and electronics that are failing very quickly. Sulfide based gases combine with airborne humidity and cause significant issues. The results is thick black corrosion. This corrosion seems to affect copper most significantly. Copper, one of the most commonly used metals in residential construction, is typically used in plumbing and electrical applications.

The results are not limited to those homes that contain Chinese drywall. In a real estate market that has been generally depressed for the last three years or so, Chinese Drywall Company Nashville adds to the litany of problems that homeowners have to overcome.

The fear and stigma associated extends to entire neighborhoods and from those neighborhoods to other homes built by the same builder. For example, a home in a neighborhood is confirmed to contain Chinese drywall. Potential buyers are so scared that other homes in the neighborhood may contain Chinese Drywall Company Nashville that they avoid the entire area. The knowledge within the real estate community is relatively wide spread. The fact that most potential buyers are avoiding the entire neighborhood depresses the price of not only the home or homes that do, in fact, contain defective drywall, but also the neighboring homes.

Similarly, potential buyers are avoiding homes built by any builder who has confirmed the use of defective drywall. The effect of this buyer fear and concern is significant and impacts more than 100 times as many homes as actually contain this defective material.
