        "text": "Sudden plumbing leaks from dry gaskets and hidden electrical damage are the two most common surprises in neglected kitchens. When foreclosed properties sit vacant, rubber seals and shutoff valves dry out, cracking as soon as water pressure is restored. Contractors also frequently find cut wires, overloaded circuits, or missing junction box covers behind old drywall and cabinetry. Additionally, pest infestations or mold under base cabinets from past slow leaks are common. Having a contractor who assesses drywall, subflooring, and underlying framing during demolition prevents these surprises from derailing your remodel.",
