Corrosion in Homes and Connections to Chinese Drywall

Results from a major indoor air study of 51 homes today along with initial reports from two studies of corrosion in homes with Chinese drywall, show a strong association between homes with the problem drywall and the levels of hydrogen sulfide in those homes and corrosion of metals in those homes. To date, CPSC has received more than 2000 reports from consumers and homeowners concerned about problem drywall in their homes.

Homeowners who believe they may have problem drywall should immediately report to CPSC by calling 800-638-2772 or logging on to www.CPSC.gov. Hearing- or speech challenged individuals may access the phone number through TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339.
