bad china drywall

[hunter rick]

I was contacted by a contractor that was bidding on the replacement of the toxic drywall and wanted a price from me to replace all devises and light fixtures this drywall tarnishes the copper wire but to what extent I do not know. Is the copper ok in the sheath or how bad is this stuff, does anyone know what im dealing with here?

Very bad the drywall emits several bad sulfur compounds which eat away at copper. Replace it all and enjoy an easy payday.

I agree on changing all the wire. And the beauty is you won't have to drill any holes. For that matter you won't even need all the good advise given here.

WOW , i heard the drywall was bad but had no idea it was damage to the wires. Some serious cost involved. Who is footing the bill ? Be sure your bid lets you keep salvage.
