        "text": "Plumbing runs are easiest and most cost-effective when placed back-to-back or vertically aligned with existing plumbing lines. Positioning the new bathroom adjacent to a kitchen, laundry room, or existing bathroom minimizes the distance necessary to tap into hot and cold water supplies and connects directly to the existing sewer stack. Placing a new bathroom far from existing utilities requires trenching through concrete slab foundations or running long drain slopes beneath subfloors, which adds labor complexity and extends the overall rough-in schedule.",
