After taking a close look at the problem I noticed that none of the seams were taped before the joint compound was applied. I have had three homes built in Wisconsin and have never had a drywall problem. Is this the norm in Florida or did the trades people take some short cuts. I would like to know if anyone else have had this dry wall issue and if there is any recourse for me.


Inexcusable, if no satisfaction from warranty consult with an attorney. Not using tape isn't the norm anywhere.
