        "text": "In Salt Lake City and across the Salt Lake Valley, older homes in historic areas like The Avenues, Sugar House, or Harvard-Yale frequently feature narrow half-baths retrofitted into unusual spaces, such as under staircases. These historic spaces often conceal aging cast-iron or galvanized plumbing, non-standard wall framing, and outdated wiring that require remediation when opened up. In contrast, newer construction in communities like Daybreak or Draper generally features modern code-compliant rough-ins, allowing remodels to focus almost entirely on cosmetic upgrades, custom cabinetry, and decorative design rather than extensive infrastructure repair.",
