        "text": "Tub removal involves shutting off local water supplies, disconnecting the drain and overflow plumbing, and stripping adjacent surround materials like tile or acrylic panels. Once fasteners into the wall studs are exposed and unscrewed, the tub is pried away from the framing. Cast iron units usually require breaking into manageable pieces with a sledgehammer, while fiberglass or acrylic tubs are cut into sections with a reciprocating saw so they fit through standard doorway openings without damaging hallway walls.",
