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


Why are some houses made with a foundation throughout? Here they're just foundation under the walls. The floor is wooden, 2 feet above the ground, which means you can get under easily to run cables and pipes.
