Brick walls can look beautiful, but eventually, they might get neglected and your best option will be to remove them. Our team has removed exterior brick walls all over Ottawa, and we’ve become one of the area’s leading specialists in this task.

 

Before Removing A Brick Wall

External brick wall demolitions generate lots of debris and dust. Therefore, all breakable or dust-sensitive items must be removed from the area to keep them safe.

Anyone near a brick wall demolition must wear a hardhat and safety glasses. Those tearing down the wall may need a respiratory mask. Ottawa Structural Demolition follows all safety protocols to ensure your brick wall comes down without injuries.

Also, the debris must be stored until it can be removed from the site. On-site dumpsters might be able to handle the old bricks and mortar, but additional space could be necessary. We’ll take care of everything to ensure your external brick wall will be removed efficiently and you can move on to construction.

 

Load Bearing Brick Walls

Many brick walls are decorative with no structural significance to the building. But, a load-bearing wall needs more planning because of the risk of collapse.

Our team will determine whether your external brick wall is load-bearing before we begin demolition. We always work safely and efficiently to remove external brick walls without causing problems for your structure.

 

Building Permits For Brick Wall Removal

Before embarking on an external brick wall removal, you may have to consult local building authorities. Generally, a permit is required for dismantling a brick wall in your residential or commercial structure, though regulations may vary.

Our team works closely with the building authority and will tell you if your project needs a permit. Following the rules ensures the success and safety of your project.

 

Plumbing & Electrical

Wires or pipes that pass through an external brick wall will need to be accommodated. In many cases, licensed plumbers and electricians will need to disconnect these items before we can begin our demolition.

We work with trusted electricians and plumbers who will get their work done quickly so we can finish your demolition. When you choose Ottawa Structural Demolition, we take care of everything to ensure your peace of mind.
