A COMPARISON OF THE RISS SYSTEM™ TO CONVENTIONAL REMOVAL OF DRYWALL
THE RISS SYSTEM™
- Allows you to REMAIN IN YOUR HOME during installation
- You do NOT have to move your furniture, pets, food, clothes or personal belongings out of your home
- You do NOT have to seek alternate living arrangements and incur all those related expenses
- NO interruption of daily family activities due to work being performed
- Is NOT a dusty, messy, or noisy operation
- Is IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE for installation and operation, and positive air quality improvement is immediately noticeable. Installation time 4 to 8 hours
- Objectionable odors will be noticeably reduced or eliminated in a matter of days
- DOES NOT require the removal or remediation of the drywall surfaces
- Is COST EFFECTIVE, and achievable by everyone
- DOES NOT require the removal of cabinets, countertops, electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, interior door trim, baseboard, window sills, ceramic wall tile, mirrors, window coverings, wall paper, etc. and the probable damage that will result from removal and reinstallation
- REMOVES harmful inorganic and organic sulfur based indoor air contaminants being emitted by Chinese Drywall while your family remains in your home
- REDUCES the potential for continued corrosion of the already corroded metals caused by the contaminated emissions
CONVENTIONAL DRYWALL REMOVAL
- Requires you to MOVE OUT OF YOUR HOME
- You must MOVE ALL of your furniture, pets, food, clothes and personal belongings OUT OF YOUR HOME into storage or into another temporary rental home AND then back again
- Requires you to INCUR expenses of moving and storage, AND continued normal expenses of yard maintenance, pool maintenance, HOA fees, taxes, insurance, AND insurance on the work being performed (not normally covered under the Builder’s Risk Insurance)
- Requires YOUR CHILDREN to possibly have to relocate to another school
- Requires a DUSTY AND MESSY operation of drywall removal
- Requires a BUILDING PERMIT AND INSPECTIONS by local governing agencies
- Requires the REMOVAL of cabinets, countertops, electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, interior door trim, baseboard, window sills, ceramic tiling on walls, mirrors etc. Is a time consuming process, which MAY TAKE MONTHS to complete
- Is basically a TOTAL RENOVATION of your home but probably NOT everything new
- Probable DELAYS in completion of the project
- Requires the dusty mess of reinstalling drywall, interior trim, window sills, cabinets, countertops, wall tile, painting, and window coverings; you become a HOME UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Who will be responsible for any DAMAGE to items removed and reinstalled?
- IF there would ever be any monetary compensation awarded to an owner, it could possibly take years to receive the compensation;
- It has not been established if there is a half life to Chinese drywall and if the total removal of all drywall will be the persecribed protocol. And, if it is, how many families and builders are able to pay the estimated minimum cost of $75,000 (single family home) to complete this process?
