Chinese Drywall Basics

Toxic Chinese drywall contains harmful levels of chemicals that are strong enough to degrade copper pipes, or electrical wires, and at the same time create a unhealthy environment in a home. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center's investigation has now determined with 100% certainty, that imported toxic Chinese drywall has been installed all over the extreme US Southeast including the states of Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Southeast Texas, and Virginia. Tragically, we believe toxic Chinese drywall has also been installed in all other regions of the United States. However, without high thresholds of heat & humidity, it becomes much more difficult, to identify homes, and or to see the worst effects of toxic Chinese drywall.

Are There Any State Or Federal Programs Offering Meaningful Disaster Assistance For Homeowner Victims of The Toxic Chinese Drywall Disaster In The US, and or especially in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, or Southeast Texas?

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "At this moment there are no meaningful federal, or state disaster relief programs for homeowners stuck with a toxic Chinese drywall home. No group, or organization has tried harder to get disaster relief for homeowners stuck in toxic Chinese drywall hell, and we will continue our efforts until federal, and state disaster relief programs are created, and made available for effected homeowners, and their families."  

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Update:

The Chinese drywall Complaint Center now believes that many more US Southeast homes particularly in Florida, Southeast Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and Louisiana have toxic Chinese drywall than previous calculations. The group says, "many homes in the US Southeast have toxic Chinese drywall INTERMIXED with US made drywall. If these homes were built or remodeled after 2001, we believe a small amount of imported Chinese drywall is enough to make an entire house toxic. The net result is instead of ending up with tens of thousands of toxic US Southeast homes, we are convinced we have 100,000's of toxic US Southeast homes." 

Is Toxic Chinese Drywall A National Problem?

Yes-However there is a problem with discovering US States-outside of the extreme US Southeast with toxic Chinese drywall. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "We now think that the reason we have found so much toxic Chinese drywall in the extreme US Southeast is high heat, combined with high humidity. We believe the high heat-high humidity combination in the US Gulf States, and Virginia may be the cause of the imported Chinese drywall-off gassing, which causes AC coil failures, metal deterioration, copper that turns black, electrical issues in the homes, combined with upper respiratory issues, nose bleeds, headaches for most homeowners, or their family members. Because the US Northeast, Mid West & or the Western half of the US do not have high thresholds of humidity, and heat; severe metal deterioration may not occur in homes with Chinese drywall, but the homeowners may still be sick. The group is trying to determine the best ways to discover toxic Chinese drywall in the US Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Mid West, and West. As this information is determined, the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center will update its web site immediately. 

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Difference

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center will spend as much time as needed with any existing homeowner in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas attempting to determine if their home, or property contains toxic Chinese drywall. There is no charge for this service. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center will also work with home buyers in Florida, or all other US Gulf States to insure they are not unknowingly purchasing a toxic Chinese drywall foreclosure from an uncaring bank, or loan servicing company.   

Imported Chinese & Toxic US Made Drywall Time Frames

We believe toxic Chinese drywall was being imported into the US Southeast as early as 2001. The primary states were Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas. We also believe, that if toxic Chinese drywall was being imported into the US Southeast as early as 2001, it probably was being imported into all other areas of the United States. However, without high thresholds of heat, and humidity-we think toxic Chinese drywall is much more difficult to identify, or discover. The US Consumer Products Safety Commission has identified toxic Chinese drywall in over 40 US States. We think the peak periods of toxic Chinese drywall usage at least in the US Gulf States were 2004-2007. In October of 2010 we discovered our first home in California, that contained toxic Chinese drywall.

What Type Of Toxic Chinese Drywall Is A Priority Of The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center? Is China standing behind their toxic Chinese drywall products?

There is one type of toxic Chinese drywall that is a huge priority of the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center. This priority is based on the idea that this manufacturer ( Knauf Tianjin) will settle with effected homeowners in the most effected US States, which are: Florida, Louisiana, Southeast Texas (Houston & Austin Metro Areas), Alabama, and Mississippi, provided the homeowner is identified in time. These are US States where the effects of toxic Chinese drywall are the worst-because of heat & humidity. The time frames for Knauf Tianjin Toxic Chinese drywall is 2005-2006 in new subdivisions, home remodels, and or homes damaged by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, or Ivan in Louisiana, Florida, Southeast Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama. If your home has Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall please call the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center immediately at 866-714-6466. Sadly, Knauf Tianjin is the only maker of toxic Chinese drywall that appears to be postured to settle with completely innocent US homeowners. Individuals, who purchased a home, or condominium with Knauf Tianjin, from a bank, or loan servicing company as a "As Is" foreclosure, will probably not qualify for the settlement. Sadly, there are a dozen plus additional toxic Chinese drywall makers, that are unwilling to stand behind their exported toxic drywall with completely innocent US families. Some of these additional toxic Chinese drywall makers are owned by the Chinese government. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is demanding the Chinese government take responsibility for their toxic imported products, and at the same time is demanding the US Congress, and Obama Administration enact strict new trade regulations on the Chinese, out of fear, that if the US fails to learn from the US toxic Chinese drywall disaster, there will be more imported toxic Chinese products that endanger innocent US citizens, and their property.
