Elongation of Post Tension Cables

Elongation of Post Tension Cables

Elongation of Post Tension Cables

(OP)
Our builder 'forgot' to call the Post-Tension CO to test the cables in our foundation for elongation.
The PT CO just did a final stressing, even overlooking one cable completely.
Should the PT CO have gone ahead, as they did, and done a final stressing without an elongation measurement and report?
We also know that the foundation pad was not prepared correctly, and there was no site preparation plan.
We are experiencing much differential settlement and damage to our home.  Are there any other problems we may encounter over the years of our 6 year old house?
