Defective Chinese Drywall in Mobile, Alabama

During the past few years, thousands of homes in the United States have been constructed using defective, toxic drywall imported from China. The majority of this defective Chinese drywall was used during the time period 2004 to 2006, but there are reports some areas of the country still have inventory for sale to the unsuspecting consumer.

The defective Chinese drywall emits corrosive gases that smell of rotten eggs that can damage and destroy electrical systems, copper and other metals used in the construction of your home. In addition to damaging your homes' building materials, the corrosive gases cause respiratory problems, nose bleeds, headaches and eye irritation to the homes’ occupants. After consulting a doctor regarding your health problems you should seek the advice of an experienced defective Chinese drywall attorney like those at The Cochran Firm.

There is thought to be over five hundred million pounds of defective Chinese drywall in this country with over one hundred thousand homes affected at this time. The removal of this defective Chinese drywall presents another problem. If done without expert removal procedures it can actually make the problem worse by releasing more toxic gases.

Recent developments indicate insurance companies are dropping homeowner insurance policies or sending notices of non-renewal to homeowners based on the presence of Chinese drywall. This practice will escalate as insurance companies begin to deal with the multitude of claims waiting to be processed.

If you live in Mobile, Alabama and you have been victimized by the installation of defective Chinese drywall in your home, please contact The Cochran Firm today to schedule a consultation to discuss how to proceed to get assistance with your problem and the financial compensation to which you are entitled.
