Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple digital readings across living areas, hallways and bedrooms (where accessible) to build a detailed level profile. This pinpoints localised sags and ridges that can indicate uneven support, framing distortion or settlement.
The survey identifies the highest and lowest points and the direction of fall across key spans. Understanding slope direction matters because it can align with drainage paths, extension junctions, or areas where supports may have been altered.
Armadale renovations often join older timber-framed sections to newer slab or re-stumped areas. We measure across these junctions to show whether the step or slope is a minor construction tolerance issue or a broader movement pattern.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens can contribute to subfloor moisture or edge swelling, which may show up as level anomalies nearby. We map these areas so you can prioritise plumbing, waterproofing or ventilation checks if the pattern supports it.
Where access allows, we correlate floor level anomalies with likely subfloor contributors such as bearer/joist deflection zones, uneven packing at stumps, or areas with limited ventilation. This helps link the numbers to actionable repair conversations.
The survey creates a measurable baseline you can repeat after seasonal change, drainage works or underpinning/re-stumping. Comparing surveys helps confirm whether movement is ongoing or stable.

If the home has sloping floors, sticking doors, cracks that reappear after patching, or a mix of old rooms and newer extensions, a survey is worth it. Armadale has many period houses with suspended timber floors and renovation junctions, where unevenness can be long-standing or a sign of movement. The survey quantifies the slope and shows where the problem is concentrated.
We measure accessible internal floor surfaces across a grid pattern, typically covering main living areas, hallways and bedrooms. We also focus on transition points such as between original sections and extensions, and around wet areas where level changes can be more telling. If parts of the home are not accessible due to furniture, floor coverings, or locked rooms, we note those limitations in the report.
The survey tells you how much the floor varies and where the highs and lows are, which is crucial for planning repairs. It does not replace an engineer’s design, but it helps you decide whether the next step is subfloor inspection, drainage review, re-stumping, levelling, or further structural assessment. We explain the likely causes suggested by the pattern and outline practical next actions.
Many Armadale homes have been extended at the rear, sometimes with a new slab connected to an older timber floor. Even if everything is sound, the two systems can sit at different heights or move differently over time. A digital survey measures across the junction so you can see if the change is a simple construction transition, an uneven levelling job, or a broader movement trend that may need attention.
Yes. A key advantage of digital level data is repeatability. If you take readings now, then repeat the survey after seasonal change or after drainage/subfloor works, you can compare the results to see whether the floor profile has shifted. This is especially useful if you’re deciding whether to proceed with major works or want evidence that a repair has stabilised the structure.
