        "text": "Before drywall hanging and taping can begin, all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins must be completed and inspected. Homeowners should also ensure that framing is straight, treated bottom plates are anchored properly to the concrete slab, and foundation walls have appropriate insulation or vapor barriers. Any history of water seepage or foundation cracks must be fully repaired beforehand, as drywall cannot stop water intrusion. It is also wise to finalize the placement of all wall blocking for heavy mounted items, such as wall-hung televisions, shelving, or handrails, before sheetrock encloses the stud cavities.",
