Chinese Drywall; Not yet an Issue in Corvallis or Albany, Oregon
If you’ve been around real estate a while, you know that there are issues with materials and products used in the construction, repair and remodel of homes. In recent years hot buttons in construction defects have been found in man-made wood composite (multiple brands were affected), then EIFS1 (EIFS stands for Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems–also known as synthetic stucco), roofing materials, heating systems, wall heaters, and many, many more. Now, there’s a new problem; Chinese drywall. Reportedly, this product imported from China creates an atmosphere of destruction to many components of a home, smells and can (reportedly) make people sick. This is an issue that bears watching. For more information about this issue, see http://www.chinesedrywall.com/
A note to the local market: So far, there has been no impact on the Corvallis, Oregon and Albany, Oregon markets. Monitoring of the progress and impacts of this product is warranted.
