Glen Huntly homes often include older weatherboards and brick homes with renovations and rear extensions—digital floor level readings help confirm whether slopes are age-related or a sign of active foundation movement.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We record a series of measurements through living areas, bedrooms and hallways to create a clear picture of how the floor falls across the home, helping pinpoint where settlement or heave may be concentrated.
A fixed reference point is established so readings are comparable across the inspection area. This reduces guesswork and makes it easier to identify meaningful changes in level from one section of the home to another.
We pay close attention to doorways, openings between original and renovated areas, and around wet areas where movement often becomes noticeable first through changes in floor level.
We interpret whether the level pattern is consistent with localised subfloor issues (such as stump settlement) or broader foundation movement, so you can prioritise the right type of follow-up.
Where accessible, we note visible indicators that often correlate with floor level changes—such as sticking doors, uneven skirtings, or cracking—so the measurements are grounded in what you can see on site.
You receive a written summary of readings, identified high/low areas, and practical guidance on what the results may indicate, including when an engineer or further investigation is warranted.

Some slope can be typical in older Glen Huntly houses, particularly in properties with timber subfloors that have been re-stumped or altered over time. The key is the pattern and severity. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures how the floor changes across rooms and between original and renovated sections, helping you understand whether it’s a gradual, stable fall or a more concerning, localised movement.
We take readings through accessible internal areas, focusing on main living spaces, hallways, bedrooms and key transition points such as doorways and openings. Where relevant, we also measure around wet areas and near external walls because movement can show there first. If some areas are obstructed by furniture or stored items, we’ll work around them and note any limitations in the report.
The survey provides measured levels and an interpretation of what the pattern may indicate. While it doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s design advice, it is very useful for identifying likely drivers such as localised settlement, broader foundation movement, or movement concentrated around altered parts of the home. If the results suggest higher risk, we’ll recommend sensible next steps for confirmation and repair planning.
Renovations and rear extensions can create different movement behaviour between the original structure and the newer build, especially if they use different footings, loads, or subfloor configurations. In Glen Huntly, this often shows as a change in level at openings or where the old floor meets the new. Digital readings help you see whether the transition is even and stable or whether one section is moving differently.
It can be worthwhile, particularly for ground-floor homes or older villa units where movement can still occur due to soil conditions, drainage, or ageing construction. The survey helps confirm whether the floors are relatively consistent and whether any unevenness forms a pattern that suggests active movement. For upper-level apartments, access and what can be meaningfully measured may be limited, so we’ll advise suitability based on the property type.
