The Importance of Proper Insurance for Post-Tensioning Repairs

Over the years of bidding on and conducting post-tensioning repairs, I’ve observed a concerning trend in the industry: many companies performing these specialized repairs lack the appropriate insurance to cover their work. Post-tensioning repairs are highly technical and require a precise understanding of structural integrity. Should something go wrong during the repair process, the repercussions can be significant—not just financially, but also in terms of safety and liability. Despite this, some contractors enter projects without the required insurance coverage specific to post-tensioning work. This puts not only the contractor but also the building owner at immense risk.

At Post Tensioning Solutions, we’ve taken proactive steps to ensure that our insurance policy is tailored specifically to our expertise in post-tensioning repairs.

This level of preparedness is not just about compliance; it’s about building trust and accountability in an industry that demands precision. Offering this assurance is one of the key advantages that set us apart from companies that may overlook this critical aspect of their operations.

Why Building Owners and Managers Must Verify Coverage

For building owners, property managers, and contractors, verifying whether the company you hire for post-tensioning repairs has the proper insurance is essential.
Take the time to:

• Ask direct questions about their coverage.
• Request and review their insurance documentation.
• Ensure that post-tensioning work is explicitly included under their policy.

While these steps may seem small, they provide critical protection against financial loss, project delays, and legal complications.

Responsible Repairs Start with Accountability

The goal isn’t just to repair the structure—it’s to do so responsibly and with full assurance that every possible risk has been mitigated.
Proper insurance is more than a formality; it’s a commitment to professional excellence and client protection.

Don’t just fix the problem — safeguard the entire project. Responsible contractors protect their clients at every step.
