Dingley Village has plenty of brick veneer homes on concrete slabs and renovated extensions where small changes in ground moisture and drainage can show up as sloping floors, sticking doors, and new wall cracks.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We record digital floor level readings across accessible rooms to create a clear layout of rises and falls. This matters because the pattern (not just one low spot) helps identify whether the issue is localised, linked to an extension, or affecting a broader section of the slab.
We set a reliable reference point and take readings at repeatable locations. This makes the results useful for future comparison, particularly if you’re monitoring movement after drainage works, plumbing repairs, or seasonal moisture changes common around established Dingley Village gardens.
We pay close attention to bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens where water leaks, failed shower waterproofing, or chronic damp can contribute to localised slab movement. Identifying level changes near wet areas helps prioritise leak investigations before cosmetic repairs are attempted.
We measure across doorways and join lines where original floors meet newer additions (rear extensions, open-plan reworks, or enclosed alfresco areas). These transitions are common locations for differential movement and can explain cracking at cornices, skirting gaps, or uneven thresholds.
Beyond providing numbers, we explain what the level profile can indicate—such as edge drop, central heave, or a localised depression—so you can brief a structural engineer or builder with clearer, more actionable information.
Where relevant, we include photos of the measured areas and related signs (cracking lines, door rub points, tile lipping) to connect the digital readings with what you can see on site. This helps when multiple parties are involved in quoting or diagnosing the cause.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
It’s a smart step if you’ve noticed new cracking, doors sticking, bouncy tiles, or uneven floors—especially in older slab-on-ground homes and renovated layouts common in Dingley Village. The survey gives a measurable floor profile so you can see whether the issue is local (often near wet areas or an extension) or broader across the slab, and whether further structural advice is warranted.
Yes. Where original areas meet newer work, small differences in footing depth, fill compaction, or moisture conditions can lead to differential movement. We take readings across the transition points and adjacent rooms to show whether the levels change abruptly or gradually. That information is useful for diagnosing why cracking appears at join lines and for planning rectification without relying on assumptions.
You’ll receive a written report that summarises the digital level readings and explains what they mean in practical terms. It highlights notable high/low zones, describes the overall pattern, and links measurements to visible indicators where relevant. The report is designed to be easy to share with a builder or engineer, so they can quote or advise based on documented level variation rather than descriptions.
Several local factors can play a role, including how stormwater is managed around the slab edge, garden beds or paving that hold moisture against the house, and plumbing issues in wet areas. Many homes also have mature trees and established landscaping, which can change ground moisture conditions through the seasons. A digital survey helps you identify the “shape” of movement so the right cause can be investigated.
Clear access to the rooms you want measured and remove small obstacles that block a straight path along walls and through doorways. If possible, note where doors have started sticking and where cracks have appeared, as this helps us target measurements. For the most consistent results, avoid moving heavy furniture immediately before the inspection and let us know about any recent plumbing works or drainage changes.
