Chinese drywall isn’t always bad. The bad stuff comes and goes because they were trying to shave costs. The early stuff was inspected and found OK.

Do you have any idea what percentage is bad?

I noticed in one of our three eight story buildings that all drywall was being ripped out and replaced.

Do you believe that the county building inspectors should know about this as they're 'inspecting?'

FYI, there is still no known way to tell the “bad” drywall from the good drywall.

What exactly is causing the problem is still not known, so tests to determine whether it is present are of course not available.

There are repeated reports of American-made drywall causing similar problems. This has not been confirmed.

There is absolutely no evidence at this time that the “bad stuff” was associated with attempts to cut costs by Chinese manufacturers.

Unfortunately, Chinese made products have become infamous for "quality fade".
