Cut a post-tension cable? Found a snapped tendon or damaged PT anchorage? Contact Medrano Concrete & Foundations to discuss your situation and the next steps for a safe, professionally planned repair.
Call About PT Cable DamageEmail Photos & DetailsIf a tendon has been struck or severed, stop nearby work and keep clear of exposed steel. Response times are subject to availability.
Post-tensioned concrete uses high-strength steel tendons to compress the slab. Damage can occur during renovations, saw cutting, plumbing repairs, drilling, excavation, and construction. Because these systems carry stored energy and structural loads, a qualified professional should assess the damage before work resumes.
Concrete saw cutting, core drilling, plumbing trenching, remodeling, and anchor installation can damage embedded tendons. We help property owners and contractors coordinate the next steps for a damaged post-tension slab, including assessment and repair planning.
A snapped post-tension cable, exposed strand, damaged anchorage, or suspected loss of tendon force requires caution. Do not handle the strand, cut the remaining steel, or attempt to re-tension it without qualified personnel and an approved plan.
Post-tension systems are used in residential foundations and some commercial slabs. Repair scope varies by structure and can require tendon location, investigation, engineer review, concrete access, tendon repair, stressing, and patching.
We welcome inquiries from plumbers, remodelers, concrete cutters, general contractors, restoration firms, and property managers dealing with accidental PT tendon damage. Document the incident and stop work near the affected tendon until the site is evaluated.
Every slab and tendon layout is different. Depending on access, damage location, tendon type, and the engineer’s instructions, a project may involve locating embedded tendons, exposing the affected section, assessing anchors and strand condition, preparing an engineered splice or replacement approach, performing approved stressing operations, and restoring the concrete. Not every broken tendon can be repaired the same way.

Stop cutting, drilling, or excavating immediately. Keep people away from the affected area, do not touch exposed strands or anchors, and arrange a professional assessment. A qualified engineer may need to specify the repair.
Yes. Prestressing tendons store significant energy, and a severed or damaged tendon can create an injury hazard and affect structural performance. Do not attempt a DIY repair.
In some cases, engineered tendon splices, couplers, replacement sections, or other approved methods may be possible. The correct solution depends on tendon condition, access, structural design, and an engineer’s repair plan.
Coverage depends on the policy, cause of damage, exclusions, and responsible party. If a contractor damaged the tendon, preserve photos, job records, and incident details for any claim.
Call us to discuss the damage, location, and site conditions. Inspection and repair timing depend on availability, access, engineering requirements, and material needs; immediate or 24/7 response is not guaranteed.
Share the property address, photos taken from a safe distance, when and how the damage occurred, whether concrete is exposed, and any available slab or post-tension drawings.
Call Medrano Concrete & Foundations with your location, a brief description, and any available photos or plans. We can discuss the appropriate next steps and whether the project is within our scope.
