Default Chinese Sheetrock

I have been reading a lot lately about Chinese Sheetrock being used in Florida homes in 2005 and 2006 which causes pipes to deteriorate and electrical wiring to become defective. It was used primarily in Florida in the 2005-06 time period and makes these houses almost valueless. The insurance companies have denied all liability and have walked away from all claims being made for restitution.

Does anyone know if the Villages purchased sheetrock from China during that period. If so, there is much need to be concerned for the pipes and electrical circuits in houses built at that time. The sheetrock was probably being sold at "dirt cheap" prices which would have made it very attractive to a developer building hundreds of homes a month.

The only remedy for the problem is to remove the sheetrock from those affected houses. Good luck!
