The 2009 Chinese drywall controversy has been called a health and safety issue involving defective drywall manufactured in China and imported by the United States starting in 2004. Laboratory tests of samples for volatile chemicals have identified emissions of the sulfurous gases carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide. These emissions, which have the odor of rotten eggs, worsen as temperature and humidity rise. Homeowners have reported respiratory tract infections, sinus problems and nosebleeds.
In homes with the defective drywall, copper surfaces such as pipes, wiring, and air conditioner coils corrode, turning black and powdery, a chemical process indicative of reaction with hydrogen sulfide.
With our experience in mold remediation, we have made it our business to become experts in dealing with this issue. We have developed protocols for removing the drywall, solving the plumbing and electrical issues and putting the home back to an uncontaminated state.

Mitch and the Able Quality staff: Thank you for a job well done regarding our Chinese drywall remediation. Our house not only looks exactly as before, it looks better! We are thrilled to be back in and have you and your entire crew to thank for it. Your foreman, was a pleasure to work with and we appreciate his efforts and professionalism. ![]()
