Chinese Drywall Fix Tested and Proclaimed A Success

At least by the company doing the testing.  Sabre Technical Services of Singerlands NY applied its chlorine gas treatment to a North Fort Myers house.  The company pumps a infected house full of chlorine dioxide gas in order to eliminate the sulfer compounds in the air, drywall and other parts of the home.  The chlorine gas, per the company, is not harmful to the home.  It apparently only destroys the harmful elements.  The estimated cost for this process is approximately $15-$20/sq foot.  That equals $30,000-$40,000 for a 2000 square foot home.  Of course, this is less expensive than tearing out and replacing all drwall and framing elements.  Read More...

Optimistic that a solution may be at hand..the question of the day will be who will be able to pay this expense?  Either an insurance or government option will have to be provided.  It is certain neither will act quickly to fund this or any possible resolution.  More testing will need to be completed.  It is good to know a possible option may have been discovered.
