What Is Partial Demolition Service?

Are you wondering what is partial demolition service? Unlike with full removal, partial demolition service only eliminates a portion of a building. It is most commonly performed when a property owner is remodeling or making structural repairs. The process is much different than from a full building demolition since our experts need to account for structural integrity, support beams, electrical lines, gas, or plumbing.  It can also be applied to multi-unit properties where damage has occurred to a singular part of a larger structural property. Having our experts on-site for this type of demolition service will allow for accurate and detailed removal without injury.

What Is A Partial Demolition?

Partial demolition services include the removal of a part of a building or a singular wall. Hiring an expert demolition service company is critical as anyone performing this type of removal must understand structural dimensions and how removing one section will affect the structural integrity. Not only is the competence of the demolitionist vital to avoid foundation decline, but a failure to accurately assess the structural integrity could lead to a complete building collapse.

  • A demolition plan must be in place before partial removal of walls can be performed to ensure pre and post demolition practices are followed to avoid accidents or mishaps.
  • You will need a partial demolition service for adding on a new room, removing a wall to expand the size of a room, adding extensions, remodeling a building, updating an existing structure to meet local building code ordinances, or making utility upgrades.
  • During partial demolitions, you will likely need to re-route utilities to promote safety.
  • It is highly likely a partial demolition will require specialized equipment such as wall supports, planks, or rakes to support the walls temporarily from a collapse.
  • Temporary fencing will safeguard the property under demolition from damage, theft, or material loss as well as promote the security of property in the surrounding area.
  • Interior demolition service typically involves preparing a home for remodeling and involves removing full non-structural components, walls, floors, cabinets, or ceilings.
