        "text": "A load-bearing wall supports weight from above, such as floors, roofs, or other structural elements, and transfers that weight down to the foundation. A non-load-bearing wall, also known as a partition wall, primarily serves to divide space and does not contribute to the structural support of the building. Removing a non-load-bearing wall is typically a simpler process with fewer structural implications. Hometelligent Inc. always begins with a structural assessment to confirm the wall type.",
