Identifying load-bearing walls
In some cases, a home owner may decide to open up the space. This may entail tearing down some walls, however knowing which walls can be torn down is important before beginning.
Some walls are used to simply separate and don’t pertain to the structure of the building, while others are used to carry the load that supports the weight of the building.
Prior to starting this type of project, it is important to identify these walls and not risk compromising the structure of your home.
