Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured set of digital readings across living areas, bedrooms and circulation zones to show how the floor plane changes throughout the home, not just at a single spot.
We focus on level changes at doorways and junctions where renovations or extensions meet the original structure, because differential movement often shows up first at these joins.
We measure around areas that commonly reveal movement—near external walls, large openings, and around bathrooms or laundries where moisture can affect subfloors and footings.
The report documents where the floor falls and by how much, helping you understand whether the issue is localised (one room) or consistent (across multiple rooms).
You receive a straightforward summary with recorded figures and notes that make it easier to discuss outcomes with a builder, engineer, or the vendor during negotiations.
Where visible, we note practical contributors such as subfloor ventilation limits, drainage fall towards the house, or patch repairs that can correlate with unevenness—without guessing what’s hidden.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Ashwood homes often include older structures that have been updated over decades, and level differences can appear where the original house meets a newer extension or where subfloor repairs were done at different times. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey gives you measured evidence of slopes and low points, helping you decide whether you need further structural advice, or whether the variation looks consistent with age and past works.
We record a series of digital height readings across accessible internal floor areas using a consistent reference point. The goal is to map how the floor changes from room to room and across key transitions like hallways, doorways and renovated sections. We then present the results as documented measurements with notes to help you interpret where the main fall lines and localised low spots occur.
The survey provides accurate floor level data, which is a strong starting point for decisions, but it isn’t a structural design report. If measurements show notable variation, or if there are other signs such as cracking or sticking doors, we’ll recommend the next sensible step—often a qualified structural engineer or experienced builder—to confirm the cause and scope of any remedial work.
Yes, they can. Many Ashwood homes have been extended at the rear or updated internally, and different construction methods can create a step or gradual slope where the old and new parts meet. Even when it looks neat visually, the underlying support system can differ. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey highlights those transitions with measurements so you can understand whether the change is minor, increasing, or linked to a broader slope across the home.
In most cases, yes. We work around normal household furniture as long as we can access key rooms and walk a sensible measuring path. If heavy furniture blocks corners or wall lines, we’ll take the closest practical readings and note any access limits in the report. For tenanted properties, it helps to arrange access to all rooms, including wet areas and any internal steps.
