That would suck. Mind you my home's addition is framed with metal studs and the times we've opened the drywall (for other reasons) there was no rust at all. However, we have no leaks, and I think the metal is supposed to be galvanized anyway although I'm not sure.i believe those have been around for about ~10 years now.
i've heard from several sources, including realtors, that those houses are plagued with construction issues resulting in leaks, rust (apparently they used metal studs for construction), electrical problems, etc
I wonder what the electrical problems are too. It sounds like the work wasn't up to par if there are significant electrical problems and leaks as well.
