Tearing out walls even non load bearing can have dramatic results above
the wall, settling being the main issue. Once I took an architect
aproved wall removal job, well he wasnt a very good architect because
down came everything above, luckily my crew was quick enough to throw
back up supports before all came tumbling down. And since he was an
architect it was on his insurance claim.Yes wall removal needs expert
direction, from someone who has done them regularly.
