This was in an 11 year old townhouse. Only the front room in the basement was not finished but drywall was installed on the stud wall in the front room so I had no view of the backside labeling on the drywall in this room. The copper plumbing lines and the HVAC ducts in this front room only had a lot of dark staining and patina on the pipes and a white stain and rusting on the ducts. But copper pipes in the middle utility closet in the basement had no such staining and were shiny and had the typical copper appearance. I did get a pic of the backside labeling of the drywall in the middle room with the copper pipes that looked fine but I really wanted to see what the drywall label in that front room said.
The first thing that came to mind was chinese drywall but I have never heard of any of it making its way to Pennsylvania but I guess it is not out of the question. But I don't know if 11 years ago was the time frame in which chinese drywall start showing up in the United States. And from pics I looked at for chinese drywall and the damage it creates, this does not appear to the same.
Thoughts?
