While there have been numerous stories all over the country of homes having to be reconstructed or repaired after builders installed defective Chinese drywall, Florida may be suffering worse than other states. In Florida, tens of thousands of homes have had Chinese drywall installed, and families are forced to pay for it.
The defective construction product has been tested by the Florida Department of Health as well as the Environmental Protection Agency. Both organizations have found that the defective drywall emits very high amounts of volatile sulfur compounds. There have not been direct links to health problems, but there have been other problems.
For many homeowners, the smell of the defective drywall is unbearable. The Chinese drywall can cause an entire house to smell like sulfur, rotting eggs, or very strong paint. Families suffering from the drywall are now being forced to choose between their family’s well being and their finances.
Families are now renting houses as well as paying for repairs being made to their homes, on top of mortgages.
