South Central Texas is known for homes with post tensioned slabs for a foundation. Damage a tendon when bolting down your safe can cost you $5k - $10k in damage to your foundation and it's possibly not even fixable I have been told.
So to make sure and avoid that, some companies will scan your concrete with GPR ground penetrating radar - costs about $500 depending on how much time involved.
To scan it, you have to pull up the carpet and clean any glue off the floor, then put down new pad and re-stretch carpet.
If you hire a carpet pro, he's going to see the safe.
If you change carpet do you just cut around the safe and leave the old carpet under it? (this safe will be HEAVY, it's a good one) - will also have 1/4" rubber mat under safe to help protect against moisture.
Anyone ever go through all of this, any suggestions?
thanks
