FORT MYERS, Fla. - One company says they may be able to fix the Chinese drywall problem without tearing up homes.
Grosse Pointe Developers and BBL Builders teamed up with Sabre, a company specializing in cleaning contaminated buildings.
Tonight, workers will fumigate a duplex in the Bell Tower Park Community with Chlorine Dioxide, which is supposed to neutralize sulfur gasses associated with Chinese drywall.
The treatment takes about eight hours. Scientists on site hope it will stop issues like corrosion of metal fixtures and health problems.
Representatives with Sabre say even if the treatment works, current damage would still need to be addressed.
