        "text": "If your home was constructed on a concrete slab, moving the bathtub drain or supply lines requires saw-cutting and trenching the concrete floor. Homes built with raised foundations or wood subfloors allow plumbers to access and reroute plumbing from below, which is simpler and less invasive. When planning a replacement in homes with slab foundations, keeping the drain in its original position minimizes slab demolition, reduces project dust, and keeps labor hours lower while still providing a completely updated fixture and surround.",
