Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take consistent readings through main rooms, corridors and transition points to identify overall slope versus isolated dips. This matters because a uniform fall can point to long-term settlement, while sharp changes often indicate localised support issues.
Results are presented in a way that shows where the floor rises and falls. This makes it easier to connect readings with symptoms such as bouncy boards, uneven tiles, or cracking around door frames.
We target areas that commonly show movement first—around wet areas, external walls, and openings like bay windows and doorways. These zones can be affected by moisture changes, drainage paths and alterations during renovations.
We link level readings to what we can see on-site, such as plaster cracking, skirting gaps and door alignment. This helps confirm whether cosmetic defects are consistent with the measured floor profile.
Where observable, we comment on practical contributors like surface drainage direction, downpipe discharge points, subfloor ventilation limitations, and proximity of significant trees. These factors often influence seasonal movement in Flemington homes.
If readings suggest active or uneven movement, we outline a sensible path—such as re-check intervals, engaging a structural engineer, or prioritising drainage and moisture management—so you’re not left guessing.

Yes. Many Flemington terraces and older cottages have floors that show a gradual slope from long-term settlement, plus localised dips from subfloor moisture changes or altered supports during renovations. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor profile so you can see whether the movement is uniform and stable or concentrated in a particular area that may need further investigation.
A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on precise floor level readings and what those readings indicate. It’s ideal when you’re concerned about uneven floors, cracking or sticking doors. A full structural inspection is broader and may include detailed assessment of structural members, footings and load paths. If the level readings suggest significant or uneven movement, we may recommend escalating to an engineer.
Yes. Floor level data gives you a baseline before you start altering loads, removing walls, or reworking wet areas. It can highlight zones that may need strengthening or monitoring before you invest in new flooring, cabinetry or tiling. For Flemington homes with a history of renovations, this helps avoid building on top of an existing movement issue.
They can. Established trees near footings can influence ground moisture, and poor surface drainage or downpipes discharging near the house can increase moisture changes around subfloors and foundations. In Flemington, where blocks can be compact and gardens close to the dwelling, these factors can contribute to seasonal movement. Our survey measures the outcome—floor level variation—and we note visible site factors that may be contributing.
Use the readings to understand the scale and pattern of unevenness, then match it to what you see (cracks, gaps, door operation). If the profile suggests localised movement, you can request further assessment, seek repair quotes, or negotiate based on evidence rather than assumptions. If the levels are broadly consistent, you may decide monitoring is sufficient and proceed with clearer expectations.
