    Safe, clean American Drywall
    I have indoor mold problem which will necessitate pulling a lot off drywall out. I am very concerned about avoiding Chinese drywall or American made drywall that uses any Chinese materials in their drywall. Can anyone lead me to american companies that are safe from chinese influence. I prefer to buy from american companies anyway but I can't afford to make a mistake and have another problem with indoor air quality.Thank you

    As far as I know no American company making drywall uses Chinese ingredients. That mess started when Katrina's devastation required so much drywall that it became cost effective to import from China. Some of that bad Chinese drywall actually came from a German company. Try USG to be safe. Manufacturer says drywall is 'fume free' - South Florida Business Journal:

    USG has been involved in these investigations as well. Any other manufactures you feel are safe. Need several anyway as I am unsure what products are available here in Ga
