April 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Consumers have been bombarded by the news media, Internet, legal system, and numerous other forms of communications about CDW or TCDW diagnosis, abatement, treatments, certifications, testing, testing equipment, post treatment testing, material testing, personal property testing, and other issues.

Information, opinions, and statements provided today, are validated and confirmed by documented facts, reports, and information.

Chinese Drywall (CDW) or Tainted and Corrosive Drywall (TCDW) structures require construction abatement activities, performed per specific protocols and treatment systems, eliminating and eradicating not only existing TCDW issues, but also future unknown residual out-gassing issues.

Health issues and future unknown Health issues from TCDW vapor exposure, both long and short term are unknown at this time, and will require extensive future testing for answers.

1)  Diagnosis ... NDE Protocol
    Confirming and validating the structure is infected, by NDE Visual Analysis or
    Inspection, per approved protocols or systems.

    Visit ... http://www.ConstructionGuru.com ...

    FREE NDE Protocol, established January 2009, confirmed and validated in the field,
    with over 600 individual residence or structure analysis.

2)  Abatement and Corrective Repairs
     Removal of all electrical, copper plumbing, HVAC, HVAC duct work,  insulation, drywall,
     wood trim, wood doors, carpet / pad, cabinets, counter tops, ceiling fans, and other
     wood or porous components, basically stripping the structure back to PRE-ROUGH-IN
     structural metal framing, structural wood framing, concrete masonry block, windows,
     exterior doors and / or other components.

3)  Treatment ... Eco-Friendly and Non-Voc product application
     Based on simple facts, not opinions, at this time  
     
     NO ONE or NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY has determined the specific cause(s), with-in
     the drywall, creating the corrosive out-gassing vapors, or even acceptable ASTM levels
     per any ASTM Standards pertaining to Residential Construction out-gassing or vapors.

    With that thought, I have encouraged and recommended our clients pay for a SNiPER®
    Treatment  Application System that neutralizes known out-gassing vapors that
    permeate or absorb into the remaining construction materials after abatement
    process. Post Treatment ASTM Chamber Testing of remaining construction material
    samples, acquired after SNiPER® Treatment System application, further confirm and
    validate Treatment success.

    SNiPER® Treatment Application System, not only eliminates and eradicates hydrogen
    sulfide and other out-gassing vapor(s) and residue(s), but also kills mold and mildew
    on contact, found in most structures during the Abatement Phase. SNiPER® Treatment
    Application Product is Eco-Friendly, Non-Voc, and EPA Registered, and application per
    Foreman and Associates Protocol results with an Insurance Policy specifically covering
    any future Chinese Drywall out-gassing or residual issues

4)  XRF Technology
     Numerous so called - Scientific groups, individuals, and companies have promoted
     XRF Technology to identify, confirm, and misclassified CDW or TCDW, based on -  
     Junk Science -  without confirmed and documented lab or field testing -  by assuming
     STRONTIUM was a marker for CDW or TCDW -  based on in-correct information,
     cherry picked from lab test and field documentation -  that would validate their opinion
     or finding, supporting their diagnosis, and justify the misuse of  XRF Technology for
     CDW or TCDW Analysis or Inspections for a service fee.

    Consumers, Lenders, Insurers, Lawyers, and others looking for answers, cost effective
    diagnosis methods, cost effective abatement resolutions, abatement decisions,
    purchase decisions, and legal theories based on XRF Junk Science -  need to
    seriously review and re-evaluate their actions, decisions, concepts, and legal theories
    based on CPSC, HUD, EPA, and CDC Federal Task Group Reports dated 8-27-2010
    and 1-3-2011.

5)  CDW or TCDW Certifications
     Consumers know, there are no CDW or TCDW College Degrees, College classes, or
     Certifications -  APPROVED by ASTM, OSHA, EPA, or any other accredited State
     Licensed College or Licensed Federal Educational Institution.

    Anybody or Group promoting DEFECTIVE TREATMENT CERTIFICATION, or
    DEFECTIVE TESTING CERTIFICATION classes has -  NO CREDIBILITY - simply
    stated -  the fact they are using the term DEFECTIVE confirms their lack of knowledge,
    ASTM Standards, and expertise ...

    ASTM 1396 / C 1396M Section 4.1 - Clearly confirms and validates the gypsum or
    sheet-rock boards meet the Manufacturing Guidelines and therefore are NOT
    DEFECTIVE - ASTM 1396  Materials and Manufacture - Section 4.1 states ...

   "GYPSUM BOARD SHALL CONSIST OF A NONCOMBUSTIBLE CORE, ESSENTIALLY
    GYPSUM, SURFACED WITH PAPER BONDED TO THE CORE."

    Key words - ESSENTIALLY GYPSUM - results in all sheet-rock, meeting the standard.

    Clearly this is why the CPSC, OSHA, EPA, HUD or any other Government Agency has
     NOT TO-DATE -  issued or demanded - RE-CALL - on the product.

6)  Testing and Post Treatment Testing
      Before or After Abatement or Treatment Testing required per Judge Fallon's
      guidelines - Fails to provide specific  testing - means and methods - ASTM type test,
      specific acceptable threshold level of out-gassing, or even specific out-gassing
      element(s) or material(s) to be tested.

      Fallon's guidelines simply require a clearance letter or document from a Licensed
      Hygienist or Environmental Engineer, leaving a lot for interpretation or abuse.

      We recommend and request Clearance Documents based on third party ASTM
      Chamber Testing of sample construction materials, acquired after SNiPER®
      Treatment Application and even further ASTM Chamber Testing, samples of the NEW
      sheet-rock material, prior to installation, confirming and validating out-gassing levels.

7)  Personal Property Treatment
     Treatment of personal property before relocation is important and may require re-
     treatment prior to occupancy of re-constructed structure to avoid cross-contamination.
   
     SNiPER® Treatment Application avoids costly disposal of numerous items, avoiding
     re- placement cost, and helping control total re-construction and re-location cost.
