Danger in the Walls?

Imagine sitting in your home, and suddenly your television stops working. Three weeks later, you find yourself replacing your refrigerator. The air condition repairman has been to your house three times in the past month, replacing the copper coils over and over. You get random bloody noses and you constantly have a sinus headache and infection. You're sick of being sick!

Chinese drywall can possibly be the cause of these problems. Although expert studies have not been conducted to show the results of the drywall in homes throughout Florida and the United States, homeowners have independently complained about similar health problems and electronic issues in their homes and they all have one commonality: Chinese drywall being used in their home.

Lawsuits are popping up all over the state, suing builders, manufacturers, and distributors, but so far nothing has been done. Awareness of the problems associated with Chinese drywall is being created through webpages such as Chinese Drywall.com  where homeowners can go to see what exactly the drywall is and how they can tell if it is in their home.

The idea that builders sought out cheaper and more easily accessed drywall options during the housing boom is not the issue. However, did they know about the dangers associated with the drywall? Did they place it in the homes anyway? These are the important issues.  Government studies are currently being conducted to answer these very questions.

Contact an experienced Florida attorney to help you through this challenging and horrific experience, if you believe Chinese drywall is in your home.
