Chinese Drywall

Reported by: Katie Brace 

BOYNTON BEACH, FL — U.S. Representative Robert Wexler, (D) Boca Raton Florida, received a first-hand look at homes affected by tainted Chinese drywall. He toured homes in the Cobblestone Creek community in Boynton Beach. He says, “I don’t want to be an alarmist, but there are some potentially significant economic and health hazards that are akin to a hurricane.”

Heather DeSola and her husband have lived in the community for two years. They built their house and decorated it so it was perfect. The problem is the house is anything but. The house has the tell-tale signs of tainted Chinese drywall. The copper has turned black. The ac unit had to be replaced. Her jewelry has turned black. Most concerning – her family is now experiencing health problems.

Heather gets migraines, her oldest son has nose bleeds, both of her children have respiratory problems and her husband has horrible allergies.

Congressman Wexler and Florida’s Surgeon General both say more health studies need to be done. The Congressman says he’s filing legislation to provide tax deductions for homeowners who have to repair their homes affected by the drywall

The DeSola’s are not waiting. They are packing-up and hope to be out of their house by the weekend.

Congressman Wexler and Senator Bill Nelson are holding a town hall meeting Wednesday in West Palm Beach. It is being held in the Mayor’s Boardroom at 10:15.
