Chinese drywall is a type of drywall that was used in construction of U.S. homes from 2004 to 2007. Over 3,300 homeowners in 37 U.S. states and districts have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers, suppliers, builders and others for their role in contributing to the country’s Chinese drywall problems.

Drywall, sometimes called wallboard, gypsum board or plasterboard, is the building material that makes the inside walls of homes. It covers the wood supports and insulation and creates a paintable surface. Drywall, made of gypsum, plaster and paper, is used all over the world in many types of construction.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, from 2004 to 2007, the U.S. imported in excess of 550 million pounds of Chinese drywall, installed in all 50 states of the U.S. but has had the greatest affect on homes in Florida, Louisiana and Virginia. Nationwide, an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 homes have been affected.

Damage Caused by Chinese Drywall

The Consumer Protection Safety Commission, (CPSC) reports that drywall made in China between 2005 and 2006 may emit 100 times more hydrogen-sulfide gas than non-Chinese drywall. This gas attacks metal, eroding wiring, plumbing and HVAC systems in homes, even fire prevention systems, causing the home to be unlivable. It also may emit an unpleasant egg-like smell and has the potential to harm human health.

Most believe that the drywall was tainted with fly ash (a waste byproduct of burning coal). The toxic fly ash can emit sulfur compounds into the air. Another theory suggests the drywall may be tainted with sulfur-emitting bacteria.
