So have you heard about Chinese Drywall, right? No??? It's the latest litigation item in real estate, but it's also serious. Serious enough to cause health issues. How do you know if ou are a candidate for having Chinese Drywall in your home?

1. Does your home smell like sulphur?
2. Was your home built between 2004 - 2007?
3. Are you experiencing costly and recurring A/C repairs?
4. Are copper water and a/c lines corroding, as well as loose change?
5. Is your electrical wiring corroding?
6. Have you seen "CHINA" stamped on the inside of any of the drywall?

If you have 2 or 3 or more of these, you most likely have defective drywall. Contact the Florida Trade Commission for more details.
