        "text": "Plumbing and electrical rough-ins must always be finished, tested, and inspected before drywall is hung and closed. When renovating or repairing kitchen walls, moving sinks, adding island lines, or updating outlets for modern appliances requires work inside wall cavities. Closing walls too soon risks having to cut fresh holes if an electrical lead is misplaced or a pipe connection fails. Coordinating these sub-trades first ensures all rough wiring and piping are secure, allowing drywall installers to place cutouts cleanly around junction boxes and plumbing stubs without delays.",
