Chinese
(Tainted) Drywall Help Center
This site explains the Chinese Drywall problem and what to do about
it. Much misinformation is out there and it leads to poor decision
making. CPSC is the premier information and clearing site for Chinese
Drywall. This site aligns with the CPSC, EPA, HUD and FTC* collation
of site information.

| This
site is created for two reasons; |
|
 |
To
counter the large volume of mis-information available,
to provide a clearinghouse for accurate up-to-date information
based on government 'watch dog' agencies, for affected
home owners.
|
|
To
provide a course of action for the home owner.
|
| |
|
This
consortium…There are the only five known
inspectors, in the greater Houston area and 8
surrounding counties, which are competent to guide
an owner thru this process. No other group has
spent sufficient research time and sufficient
"hands on" experience to develop this
help. This research continues because Chinese
Drywall continues to be an evolving problem where
answers are being found everyday.
