Removing internal walls can be a messy job because it requires several tools. Also, not carrying it out attentively can lead to undesired structural modifications. But professional builders in Sydney still accomplish it by taking a step by step approach. Anyway, today, we will discuss how they remove the internal walls in buildings accurately.

• Switching off Water and Power 

In the first step, the professionals carrying out internal wall removal in Sydney will turn off the power to the electrical circuits before commencing the work. For that, they will switch off the breakers in the building. After that, they will remove switch and outlet covers from the wall and inspect the voltage in every electrical box with a non-contact voltage tester. 

If they notice that an outlet or switch is in place during the first demolition, they will remove the screws of the switch or outlets and pull the device away from the electrical box.
At the same time, if there are pipes located within the wall through which water flows, they will turn off the water flow to avoid hazards.

• Removal of Doors

Next, the professionals will remove the doors in the wall. For that, they will unscrew the hinges from the door jambs. However, if there is a sliding jamb attached, they will carefully remove it so that it can be affixed to the wall later again. This does not take much time but is necessary to protect the door frame and jamb.

• Trimwork Removal

The professionals from the wall removal company in Sydney will remove all trim work to make the process easier. For this, they will remove baseboards and other trim work from the wall. For this, they will use several tools from which one common one is the flat pry bar. Then, after removing the trim work, they will remove the paint and caulk seals. After that, they will punch holes in the drywall to cut between the studs.

• Removing the Drywall Sections

Now, the professionals will remove sections of drywall and they will do this by pulling off the frame. However, if there are edges on the wall that cannot be cut through the drywall, they will break along the uncut edges carefully. After that, they will carry the removed pieces and dispose of them since they will not be required anymore.

• Removing Rest of the Drywall

The home builders in Sydney will remove the rest of the drywall by using the same techniques that we have already mentioned. However, to remove the remaining drywall, they might work from the opposite side of the wall. But that again depends on which side the studs are on.

• Plate and Stud Removal

To remove the plates and studs, the builders will use a reciprocating saw along with other tools. They will also pry and pull ends that are cut from the studs along with the nails that were used for securing the wall. 

The entire process is done carefully because as mentioned already, it can turn out to be a complex process. However, professional builders don’t take much time to do the needful.
