        "text": "In older Salt Lake City homes, particularly in historic neighborhoods like The Avenues, Harvard-Yale, or Sugar House, existing galvanized supply lines or cast-iron drain stacks often require modernizing when replacing fixtures. Connecting modern faucets and sink drains to aging infrastructure may require transitioning to PEX water lines and ABS or PVC drainage behind the wall to prevent leaks and ensure code-compliant venting. Licensed general contractors coordinate these necessary rough-in updates during kitchen or bathroom renovations.",
