In October 2009 we discovered we had Chinese Dry wall. A forensic specialist from Houston, Texas with RIMKUS investigated our home and took samples of the dry wall. His report proved we have a high concentration of gases that have corroded our coils in our air conditioners, pipes on our hot water heater, jewelry, silver service, etc. We have been trying to find out if the Federal Government has come up with a remediation protocol so we can move out and get our house repaired. Please let us know what we can do to live in a safe environment in our house.
By the time we found, in Oct. 2009, that we had Chinese dry wall, we had been sick frequently which seemed to puzzle our physician. I have asthma which has gotten increasingly worse. The smell of the gas has gotten worse with time and I wonder if we will end up with our house on fire and have nothing left or if my life will be shortened due to the gases causing health issues. I have gotten acne all on my face and never have had a problem. We have lost the worth of our house at the age of 68. All the wiring is corroded in the house. We have tried to use air fresheners throughout the house and it helps some but the air is still thick with gas.
In the warmer months, we left our back door open and windows open. Unfortunately, temperatures have dropped in the 30's and that is impossible now. Surely someone cares about the conditions we are living in. What will the New Year bring? I don't know but I have hope something good will happen. Can our government be pushed to get a protocol for remediation or will they just sit on the issue for a year or two until something fatal happens?
