        "text": "When rerouting pipes, common materials used include PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and copper. PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and typically more cost-effective for installation, often requiring fewer fittings. Copper is durable, long-lasting, and offers good water pressure. A practical tradeoff involves considering that while copper has a higher upfront material cost, its longevity and recyclability can be appealing, whereas PEX's flexibility can reduce labor time and cost, especially in difficult-to-access areas.",
