        "text": "A vanity replacement is a good time to check shutoff valves, supply lines, the P-trap, drain connections, and the wall opening behind the cabinet. Components that are old, corroded, inaccessible, or incompatible with the new cabinet may deserve replacement while the area is open.\n\nContext: Reusing sound parts can control cost, but forcing old connections into a new layout can create leaks or make future servicing difficult. Elite Remodeling & Design can coordinate plumbing assessment with cabinet installation when the project includes bathroom remodeling work.\n\nKey factors:\n- Valve operation and corrosion\n- Supply-line age and condition\n- P-trap alignment and access\n- Drawer or shelf interference\n\nPractical guidance: Test for leaks after reconnecting and before sealing the cabinet or countertop. Keep shutoff valves reachable without removing the entire vanity.\n\nAccessible, sound connections are more valuable than simply preserving every existing part.",
