What Are Load-Bearing Walls?
As the name implies, certain walls in your home support the weight of the structure, the roof, and other walls.
Exterior walls, for example, are always load-bearing since they support the roof.
This is why, when speaking of load-bearing wall removals, you must be certain that the weight is distributed or supported in some other manner.
Failure to do so can lead to catastrophic consequences!

How Do We Remove Load-Bearing Walls?
Our structural engineer will determine how much weight the wall is supporting and will offer plans on how this weight can be redistributed or supported in some other manner, such as support beams.
Only after we receive your approval will any work begin.
We will obtain the necessary permits, seal off the room involved, cover your furnishings and flooring to prevent any damage, and be ready to start work on time.
Structural Integrity: Ensuring Safety During Load-Bearing Wall Removal
It is common to add temporary supports before the removal process begins.
Depending on the plans you approved, beams or columns are often put in place to support the weight of the wall.
This is just the beginning of the process. It’s easy to see why structural engineers and professional contractors are relied on to carry out such an important process.

Q: Do I need permission or a permit to remove a load-bearing wall in South Australia?
A: Yes, you will. It is not uncommon to need more than one, depending on the project. Failure to obtain permits (or obtaining incorrect permits) can be a costly mistake when you go to sell your home.
Wall Removal Experts SA will obtain all the necessary permits and permissions so you can avoid the hassle and stress of this step.
Q: What needs to be done before removing a load-bearing wall?
A: A structural engineer must be employed to determine how the weight that the wall used to support will be redistributed. They will also determine if anything else is inside the wall, such as plumbing, electrical wiring, vents, or gas lines.
Those items will need to be turned off before wall removal (and redirected afterward), and supports must be installed. These are just a few of the items that must be done before the sledgehammer is put to work!
Q: How much of a load-bearing wall can you take out?
A: This would depend on many factors, and only a structural engineer can determine how much of the wall can be safely removed. Our team will carefully plan and explain how much of the wall they can safely remove. Beams or columns must be added to support the weight the wall used to bear.
It’s easy to see how vital it is to hire a professional who can explain the process to you and how they will keep the structural integrity of your home in place!
Q: Do I need an engineer to remove a load-bearing wall?
A: Yes. At the very least you must hire a structural engineer to determine if the wall is load-bearing and how the weight will be supported if the wall is removed. Very few DIYers have the skills and tools to remove a load-bearing wall and reroute all the items that are often inside walls.
Safely removing a load-bearing wall so you can enjoy an open floor plan without worry is our top priority.
