Hampton Park has plenty of 1980s–2000s brick veneer homes where reactive clay soils and past drainage changes can show up as sloping floors, sticky doors and cracking. A digital floor level survey pinpoints how much movement is happening and where.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple measurements throughout the home to build a clear map of relative floor heights. This shows where the floor is rising or dipping and helps identify whether movement is localised (for example, near a bathroom) or follows an edge/perimeter pattern.
A fixed reference point (datum) is established so readings are consistent across the survey. This reduces the risk of ‘eyeballing’ slopes and provides repeatable results if you need follow-up monitoring after drainage or site works.
The report highlights the lowest and highest areas and the direction the floor falls. Knowing fall direction is useful when comparing findings to visible symptoms like diagonal cracking, separation at skirtings, or doors binding on one side of the house.
Where visible, we note typical related signs such as cracking around window corners, uneven tile lippage, or racking at door frames. This connects the numbers to what you can see, helping you prioritise which areas to investigate further.
We pay close attention to junctions between original sections and later extensions, plus bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where leaks can change soil moisture. Differential movement often shows up at these transitions and can be missed without measured data.
Findings are presented in a format that is easy to share with a builder, plumber, drainage contractor or engineer. This helps others quote and scope works based on measured level variation rather than assumptions.

Often, yes. Many Hampton Park homes are slab-on-ground, and minor cracking can be purely cosmetic, but it can also be the first visible sign of differential movement. A digital floor level survey measures whether the floor is actually changing level and shows the pattern across the house. That information helps you decide if you should focus on drainage, plumbing checks, or simply monitor.
You’ll receive a report that summarises the measured level variations, highlights high and low points, and presents results in a plan-style layout that’s easy to interpret. We also provide practical commentary on what the pattern suggests and what to do next if movement looks more than typical settlement. If you’re buying, the report is useful for follow-up discussions with your conveyancer or builder.
Yes. Sticking doors and uneven tiles are common symptoms when a floor has changed plane, even slightly. The survey quantifies the level differences so you can confirm whether the issue is structural movement, localised swelling, or framing distortion. It also helps locate the “low” side of the home, which can be relevant when investigating stormwater discharge, garden beds against walls, or wet area leaks.
They can be. Hampton Park has plenty of properties with later extensions, enclosed patios, and converted garages. These areas may have different slab thickness, footing detail, or site preparation than the original build, which can lead to differential movement at the join. A digital floor level survey is a practical way to measure whether the addition is sitting differently to the main house and whether the change is gradual or abrupt.
Make walkways clear so we can take readings across key rooms, including along walls and through hallways. If possible, ensure access to bathrooms, laundry and any extension areas, as these are important comparison zones. Let us know about any recent plumbing work, drainage changes, or landscaping that altered ground levels near the house. These details help interpret the pattern of results more accurately.
