Post-Tension Cable & Slab Repair in South Florida
Tendon and anchor restoration, slab and beam PT repair, and grout injection for post-tensioned structures across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County — performed by crews trained on stored-energy systems.
When a Post-Tension Tendon Fails, the Structure Loses Strength
Post-tensioned slabs and decks rely on high-strength steel cables held in tension to carry their loads. In South Florida, salt and moisture reach those tendons through cracks, failed anchors, and un-grouted ducts — the strand corrodes, loses strength, and can break, often at the slab edge. Because the cable is under enormous tension, a failure is sudden and serious, and the lost capacity transfers to the structure around it.
New Age Construction Group restores post-tension systems safely — locating and assessing tendons, replacing what's failed, restoring anchors, and protecting the steel — for condominiums, HOAs, commercial, and parking structures across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County.
7 Signs Your Post-Tension System Needs Attention
Post-tension problems hide inside the slab until they surface at the edges. These are the signs our crews look for across South Florida — and with PT systems, early is everything.
Rust stains at slab edges or anchors — reddish-brown bleed at the edge of a slab or balcony often means a post-tension anchor is corroding inside.
Cracking along a cable line — cracks that run in a straight line across a slab can follow a tendon that's corroding and expanding.
Blowouts at the slab edge — concrete that has burst or spalled at the edge of a slab or balcony can indicate a failed or failing anchor.
Spalling on balconies or parking decks — surface deterioration on post-tensioned elements exposes and accelerates corrosion of the tendons inside.
Water staining on the underside of slabs — leaks reaching a post-tensioned slab feed the corrosion that attacks the tendons.
Cracks concentrated around anchor pockets — distress at the slab edge where the anchors sit is a classic early sign of PT trouble.
Post-tension-era construction — many South Florida slabs and decks built from the 1970s on are post-tensioned and due for assessment, even without obvious symptoms.

What Is Post-Tensioning Repair?
Post-tensioning repair restores the high-strength steel tendons that run through a concrete slab or beam and hold it in compression. In a post-tensioned structure, those cables are what give the slab its strength — so when a tendon corrodes or breaks, the structure loses capacity in a way ordinary rebar repair can't address. PT repair re-establishes that tension safely and restores the slab to its engineered design.
Post-tension systems are common in South Florida parking decks, balconies, and elevated slabs. They're efficient and strong — but the tendons are vulnerable to the same salt and moisture that attack the rest of the building, and a failed tendon is a structural issue that needs specialized repair, not a patch.
How Post-Tension Systems Fail
PT failures almost always start with water and chloride reaching the tendon — through a cracked slab, a failed anchor pocket, or an un-grouted duct. The strand corrodes, loses cross-section, and eventually breaks, often at or near the anchor at the slab edge. Because the cable is under enormous tension, a break can be sudden, and the lost capacity transfers to the surrounding structure.
Spotting it early matters: rust staining at anchors, cracking that follows the tendon line, or blowouts at the slab edge are signs a tendon is failing and the system needs assessment before the damage spreads.
Our Repair Methods
Every PT repair starts with locating and assessing the tendons, then de-tensioning safely where replacement is required. We replace broken and corroded tendons, restore anchor heads and pockets, repair the surrounding concrete, re-grout and seal the ducts, and protect the anchors against future intrusion — all coordinated with the engineer of record and documented tendon by tendon.
Materials and methods are specified for South Florida's salt and moisture exposure, so the repaired system is protected against the very conditions that caused the original failure.
Safety & Engineering Discipline
Post-tension repair is among the most hazardous structural work there is — a tendon stores enormous energy, and releasing or cutting it incorrectly is dangerous. It is not general concrete repair. Our crews are trained on PT systems and the stored-energy hazards, work to engineered procedures, and coordinate every step with the engineer of record.
That discipline is also what makes the repair durable and defensible: every tendon assessed and repaired is documented, so your engineer, your board, and any inspection have a verifiable record of the work.
A Failing Tendon Is a Serious Structural Risk
Post-tension problems are hidden and high-stakes. Here's what's at stake when PT distress goes unaddressed.
What Determines Post-Tension Repair Costs in South Florida
No two PT failures are the same. These four factors drive the price of every post-tension repair we estimate.

Post-Tension Projects We're Proud Of
Post-Tension Repair Done Safely, to Engineering Standards
Post-tension repair is specialized structural work — a tendon stores enormous energy, and it has to be assessed, de-tensioned, and restored to engineered procedures by crews trained on PT systems. It is not general concrete repair, and the difference is a matter of safety and structural integrity. New Age performs PT repair to recognized post-tension and concrete-repair standards, coordinated with your engineer of record.
We document every tendon assessed and repaired, so your engineer, your board, and any milestone inspection have a verifiable record. On post-tensioned structures, that documentation is as important as the repair itself.
