Significance of Chinese Drywall testing for homes and offices

The Chinese Drywall testing is done for detecting the presence of elemental sulfur in the indoors and is generally related to the problematic wallboard installation. Presence of sulfur in excessive amounts can be detected without any equipment – the characteristic smell of rotten eggs is a strong indicator. Also, if you or your family members or employees have been suffering from frequent, persistent headaches along with eye irritation, then the presence of elemental sulfur in the indoors can be established with the help of Chinese Drywall testing, which also includes the safe removal of the wallboards which are responsible for it, as recommended by CPSC and HUD regulations.

The Chinese Drywall testing is especially recommended in all the residential and commercial complexes in the Southeastern parts like Florida, wherein the defective wallboards were installed in between the period from 2004 – 2007, owing to the hurricanes and storm problems. It is estimated that as many as 500 million Chinese drywalls found applications in construction units, and 23 states report positive reports during Chinese Drywall testing. If you suspect the wallboards at your home or office to be defective too, then look out for signs for the presence of elemental sulfur. Sulfur corrodes copper and hence corroded copper wirings and frequent repair work of installations like air conditioners or alarms etc. is another indication of the need for your house to undergo Chinese Drywall testing.

A trustworthy Chinese Drywall testing service would be adept at indoor air quality testing for detection of sulfur, apart from the safe dismantling of the defective wallboards while complying to the laws laid out by EPA for the same. Total care would be taken to keep the framing, wiring of the electric installations, and the insulation intact, so that you will not have to incur any extra expenditure, and can get rid of the Chinese Drywall problem in an effective manner.
