re: is there a standard depth for house slabs

I've drilled and broken out a few post tension slabs. The tendons are anywhere from 1/2" to 7/8". You are not going to simply just drill through one with a concrete bit.
Also if you so happen to possible cut one from some other means it may pop out the slab a few inches on either end, not a major deal.

Makes sense.
I've only dealt with it in commercial applications and it can be pretty catastrophic.

This! If you feel some resistance while drilling don’t force the bit. A concrete bit will not cut a tension strand on its own. Be smart take your time.
ETA: but it sounds like your slab Is probably not post tensioned. If you haven’t seen those circles on the side.
