$19.95 Chinese Drywall Inspection!

Cheap isn't it?  Our research department has discovered over 30 companies on the internet advertising CHEAP solutions to finding out if a home contains defective drywall. 

BUYER BEWARE!  Many of these solutions are a simple "test kit" comprised of $2.00 or less in materials that do not provide reliable results.  Often times when consumers use these "test kits", they  are still left wondering if their home does or does not contain any defective drywall!

There too many variables that come into play when looking for defective drywall in a home:

• Our data shows that homes built between 2004 and 2008 have drywall installed from an average of 3 different manufacturers (you have to test every wall and ceiling to be certain). 
• Many of the natural volatile gasses that are present in our homes cause a similar visual affect on copper, but do not have the same destructive properties!  These affects are accelerated in vacant and properties with deferred maintenance. Only a trained eye and a proper inspection protocol can recognize the difference.
• Some home sellers are trying to "cover up" the symptoms displayed by Chinese Drywall.  Again, only a trained eye and  a proper inspection protocol can discover these tricks!
• Most "Cheap" solutions contain methods that are outdated and place the consumer at significant risk! The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission offers guidance for Chinese Drywall Inspections.  This guidance was updated on 8/27/2010. Most "Cheap" Inspectors are still following the outdated guidance issued on 1/28/2010!  (The updated guidance can be found at www.krossinspectors.com/chinesedrywall.)

There are many more factors that can place consumers at risk.  Our point is that if you want to be sure that youre home DOES or DOES NOT contain defective drywall, you should only rely upon experience and a thorough inspection protocol. 

To find out more about how to protect yourself, visit www.krossinspectors.com/chinesedrywall or call our Chinese Drywall Hotline at 1-877-496-4662.  Inspectors are available daily from 8am-8pm for consultations.
