        "text": "Yes, older Denver area homes in neighborhoods like historic Denver or older parts of Littleton frequently feature heavy cast iron tubs set into thick lath and mortar surrounds. These installations require specialized care during removal to avoid cracking fragile plaster walls or damaging vintage cast iron plumbing stacks. Professional crews also inspect the floor joists once the tub is out, as historic framing may require reinforcement to support modern replacements.",
