        "text": "Attached garages typically utilize a concrete slab foundation, which is durable, cost-effective, and provides a stable base for the structure. The specific design of the slab, including thickness and reinforcement, will be determined by soil conditions, expected loads, and local building codes. In some cases, especially on sloped lots or where additional stability is needed, a stem wall foundation may be used. Proper site preparation and soil compaction are crucial before pouring the foundation to prevent future issues. This foundational decision is a key factor in the long-term integrity and stability of your garage.",
