Contaminated Chinese drywall began entering the country in 2001 through two dozen ports.  This contaminated drywall can cause serious health issues including, but not limited to, upper respiratory problems, nose bleeds, headaches, eye irritation, and allergies. Chinese drywall emits gasses which corrode copper and metal surfaces, including electrical wiring, air conditioners and appliances. These gasses not only destroy homes, but the personal property within homes, such as televisions, computers and electronics.  The majority of the contaminated drywall entered the country during the construction boom from 2004-2006. There are many theories as to what is causing these issues; however, as of now the exact cause is unknown. If you believe that your home may be contaminated or there are telltale signs in your home including a rotten egg or sulfur smell emanating from the contaminated walls, Chinese labels on the drywall itself, and corrosion of copper wiring and appliances in the home, please contact Hill | Turner LLC for more information about protecting your rights.
