How Do You Know If Your Sheetrock is Bad?
Testing protocols for drywall that will stand up in court
If you're planning a lawsuit because your home was built with Chinese Drywall, you need to make sure that you have scientific test results, and evidence of the problem. Like many homeowners, you may already be replacing bad drywall, which is expensive considering the contractor cost and the fact that the new drywall costs more than the cheap imported defective drywall that needs to be torn out. There are already sites on the internet which list protocols and tests for tainted Chinese drywall. If you are going to be part of a class action claim on drywall, or are a single party looking to start drywall litigation, you should be ready with evidence of your claim and proof that you had dangerous plaster sheetrock in your home.
