What Can Go Wrong with DIY Interior Demo
Interior demolition looks straightforward — swing a sledgehammer, pull out drywall. But several things can go seriously wrong without the right expertise.
**Removing a load-bearing wall:** Not all walls are equal. Removing a load-bearing wall without proper temporary support can cause ceiling or floor collapse. Identifying load-bearing elements requires experience.
**Cutting through utilities:** Hidden wiring and plumbing runs through walls and floors. Cutting into them causes damage, risk of electrocution or water damage, and costly repairs.
**Disturbing asbestos:** Drywall joint compound, floor tiles, and pipe insulation in pre-1980 buildings may contain asbestos. Disturbing it without proper containment creates a serious health hazard.
**Permit violations:** Interior demolition beyond cosmetic work often requires permits. Unpermitted work can surface during a sale inspection.
