Hi, I purchased a townhome from John Crosby in 2007. It was built in late. It was biult in 2006. I received a call May first from the Crosby’s. They informed me that I do in fact have chinese drywall. I asked them to inform my tenants on my behalf and they did.My tenants moved next door to one of the units that the Crosby’s own. Now I am leasing my toxic home to the Crosby’s and Kanauf is leasing my townhome from them. Knauf is doing experiments with filtration systems. I payed four hundred thousand dollars for my home and at this point I don’t think it has any value. I think it’s about time I get a lawyer. I payed over four thousand for propery tax and over three thousand for insurance, not to mention homeowners ass. fees. I am looking for an attorney on the Northshore. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for contacting us with your Chinese drywall concerns. The defective drywall, also known as wallboard, gypsum board, or plasterboard, arrived at about 2 dozen ports around the country with 7 of them in Florida, but including New York, Texas, New Orleans, and California. During the housing boom after Hurricane Katrina, among other storms, from 2004 through 2006, the strain on the supply of domestic drywall required many builders to resort to international suppliers to fill the demand. Builders and suppliers who used toxic drywall to build homes around the country is an issue that is still being investigated by the Consumer Product and Safety Commission, as well as our legal team and many others across the country. The CPSC is hoping to find links from foreign manufacturers who sold the toxic drywall to U.S. suppliers. Our legal team is doing everything possible to try and reach out to homeowners who think they may have a Chinese drywall problem. Once they contact us with symptoms, we immediately go through a process of investigation and scientific testing on the drywall to determine if it is defective. The supplier or manufacturer is usually printed on the drywall located in your home. Currently, unless a supplier admits to importing Chinese drywall, or a builder admits to using it during the construction of a development, the only other way of obtaining this information is through investigation and scientific testing of the drywall in question. Our records indicate that Knauf-Tianjin, a Chinese manufacturer, and Interior Exterior Building Supply of Cortez, New Orleans are under investigation due to homeowner complaints, and positive defective drywall test results.
