Chinese drywall, America’s housing boom, hurricanes, and various industry oversights have caused immense misery for thousands of unsuspecting home dwellers these past five years. Rebuilding was frenzied albeit somewhat out of control. U.S. manufacturers could not produce enough drywall to meet the overwhelming demand so millions of square feet of plasterboard was purchased from abroad. It’s estimated that more than 500 million pounds of possibly deficient Chinese drywall entered America between 2004 and 2008. An Associated Press statement said that was enough material to build about 100,000 homes.
An immediate concern was the stinky Chinese drywall reportedly exuded sulfur fumes that smelled like “rotten eggs” and caused air conditioning coils to corrode. Soon complaints of sinus and respiratory ailments surfaced. Some situations were so severe that residents had to vacate their dream homes.

I live in St. Tammany Parish, LA and recently discovered Chinese-made drywall in my home. The home was constructed in 2006 by Mayeaux Construction of Covington, LA. Three years, three A/C coils, one microwave, one plasma TV, one dishwasher, one doorbell, one washing machine, two refrigerators, multiple nosebleeds and sinus attacks, hair loss,several bronchitis episodes, frequent skin rashes, bouts of dizzines and significant breathing difficulties later, we vacated our home. No word from the contractor who built the home, other than the explanation that the drywall must have “slipped through”. Currently engaged in litigation to remedy the issue, and hope for a speedy conclusion. Thanks for your efforts.
