If the slab most common in a home has post tensioned cables inside, thats a severe safety issue. my brother had this come up in his home, a below slab water line broke,
he had to have his slab x rayed to avoid hitting any cables.
i doubt this is a issue for the OP but might be a issue for someone else
My foundation is cable tensioned. You notice a cable (s) sticking out
of the foundation an inch or less --- not in all cases, though. Some
home builders put a stamp in the garage pad to indicate the slab is
cable tensioned (no all do).
It is worth knowing before you cut the concrete. I was lucky we
missed the cable in a master bath reno.
