If not, then some logic might tell you. For instance, are there any walls above beams in the basement? What are the spans? Typically walls that run parallel to the span are non-supporting (but may contain columns), walls that run perpendicular near the center are bearing walls. But I've seen remodel jobs where we found columns that are not supported by anything underneath (yet carry a large load), bearing walls that don't, non-bearing walls that do... Short answer is there's no way for us to tell you without seeing the plan...and quite possibly the actual structure. Best bet is to hire a structural engineer or architect to come out and give it a look see. . |
