How many Florida Chinese Drywall / Tainted Corrosive Drywall structures were built ??? How many more exist ???

After seven (7) or more years, one big question that keeps coming up over and over ... How many Florida structures are known to be affected or infected ? Based on 326,641,973 pounds or approx. 3,630,000 - 4 ft X 12 ft boards of tainted drywall documented as imported to Florida alone, one has to again ask ... How many structures are known and where are the rest? Based on tracking records from the State - Less than 8,000 structures documented? Sounds like a lot until you do the numbers or math.
SARASOTA, Fla. - May 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Consumers or Buyers who plan to purchase a structure or property built between 1999 and 2009 should not only think about the facts noted below but at the very least ... consider the numbers and facts explained below and what really makes common sense.

Simply stated as noted above ...

326,641,973 pounds or 3,630,000 - 4 foot X 12 foot sheets of Tainted Corrosive Drywall was delivered to just one State ... FLORIDA !!!

Yes ... three million six hundred thirty thousand SHEETS of 4' X 12' Tainted Corrosive Drywall

Based on our field experience ... each affected or infected property or structure has averaged or contains 100 - 145 sheets of TCDW (tainted corrosive drywall) on average.

3,630,000 Sheets divided by 100 Sheets = 36,300 Structures

3,630,000 Sheets divided by 145 Sheets = 25,034 Structures


Are you with me so far ???

Again ... Simply stated ... 25,034 - 36,300 Infected or Affected Structures !!!

State of Florida records confirm ... less than 8,000 structures have been documented / reported in the whole State or FLORIDA !!!

My question for Consumers or Buyers of structures built in FLORIDA between 1999 - 2009 ...

Are you buying or purchasing one of the remaining 17,000 - 28,000 structures potentially infected or affected with Tainted Corrosive Drywall ???

Please, understand these are very conservative numbers, based on known ... "field findings" ... most FLORIDA structures contain a mix of infected / affected Chinese boards and domestically produced, non-infected, or US manufactured boards.

Another major issue Consumers or Investors need to be aware of ... "AS IS" structures !!!

Are you buying a partially remediated structure, "AS IS" structure, foreclosure structure, or maybe even a structure that has been repaired ???

Partially Remediated means just that ...

Partial or Incomplete and by whose Standards and Warranty or Guarantee ?

"AS IS" means just that ... Caveat Emptor ... Buyer Beware !!!

Consumers, Realtors, and Investors need to protect their rights and limit the risks involved with buying or purchasing property in Florida.

Call a PROFESSIONAL !!!

Most Home Inspectors missed or overlooked the issue originally ...

Tainted Corrosive Drywall effects are clearly visible to the trained eye !!!
