If a homes listing mentions repiing , does that mean that there is a problem with Chinese drywall?

Hi Lucinda...

As stated at the following website: Florida’s Chinese Drywall Problems Go Back at Least 3 Years

Chinese drywall is in itself a known problem that is suggested to cause corrosion to air-conditioning and electrical components, and may cause coughing and irritation of sinuses, eyes and throats. It goes on to state that, “when combined with moisture in the air, these sulfur compounds create sulfuric acid.”

That being said, I don't think this will be a major issue for cpvc pipe...doesn't really corrode easily.. I'm thinking there could be issues with cpvc being piped or cemented improperly....that kind of stuff.

I would recommend that you call the real estate agent handling the home and ask them what is happening in regard to your concerns. You could also call the local BUILDING INSPECTOR and discuss these concerns with him/her.

Let us know if you'd like to discuss this more..O.K?
