Chinese Drywall Inspector
Toxic Chinese drywall has been found in California!
Newly constructed homes as well as homes that were remodeled from 2004 2008 may be affected. Home owners and occupants are reporting a sulfur or rotten egg smell throughout the residence. Locating Chinese drywall in your home is nearly impossible for the untrained individual. According to the Homeowners Consumer Center (Read More) a high concentration of Chinese drywall will most likely be found in Los Angeles County San Bernardino County and the Riverside County area. However any home remodeled after 2000 can have toxic Chinese drywall. If you are a homeowner or occupant living in a residence where there is a pungent sulfur or rotten egg odor in the home we urge you to contact us for our Chinese drywall investigation service.
