Found another home today and thought I would share. We know it can only be confirmed with lab testing but the client did not want to go there. I could not find any markings on the wallboard. The home does have a well with some sulfur water. The coil on the air handler was replaced on this 2008 home.

The electrical panel is in the garage, not near drywall. This builder has had it before.

Thanks John  
I’m glad the Chinese drywall didn’t make it up to the homes I’ve seen in MD.  
Seems like the southeast did receive the bulk of it.
