Heathmont homes often sit on gently sloping blocks and reactive clay ground, which can show up as uneven floors, sticking doors, or cracked cornices. A digital floor level check helps confirm whether movement is minor settlement or something that needs further structural advice.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic level readings throughout accessible rooms to build a clear picture of the home’s internal floor profile. This shows whether the floor variation is localised (often linked to a single support point) or consistent across a wider area.
The survey highlights the highest and lowest points and the direction floors fall across the plan. Knowing the direction of fall helps you compare results with visible indicators like door misalignment, cracking lines, or known wet-area locations.
Bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens can be hotspots for moisture-related movement. We focus readings around these areas to help detect patterns that may align with past leaks, poor ventilation, or long-term moisture exposure.
Where a home has a raised timber floor, we note observations that may explain unevenness, such as suspected stump settlement zones or subfloor ventilation limitations (based on what’s accessible and visible on the day).
Heathmont homes often have additions at the rear or side. We look for level changes at transition points because differing footings, subfloor systems, or construction eras can create step-downs or uneven junctions.
Your report summarises the readings in plain language and flags results that may warrant monitoring or further advice. Where appropriate, we outline sensible follow-up options, such as re-checking levels after a season change or seeking an engineer’s assessment.

Yes. Many older Heathmont homes have raised timber floors where stump settlement, bearer sag, or moisture changes can create noticeable slopes. A digital survey provides a measured floor profile instead of relying on “feel”. It can help you tell whether the issue appears localised to a section (often repairable) or more widespread, which may justify further structural advice.
The survey provides accurate floor level measurements and highlights patterns that can be consistent with subfloor or foundation movement. However, it doesn’t replace an engineering assessment or a full scope of structural works. If the readings show significant variation or a clear movement trend, the report will recommend appropriate next steps, which may include a licensed builder or structural engineer review.
We measure accessible internal floor areas across key rooms, typically including living zones, hallways, and bedrooms, and we pay close attention to transitions (such as between original sections and extensions). Wet-area-adjacent rooms are also important because long-term moisture can influence movement. If rooms are inaccessible due to stored items or locked doors, we’ll note the limitation in the report.
They can. On blocks with fall, changes to drainage, landscaping, or retaining over time can influence how water moves around the home and how reactive ground behaves seasonally. Even brick veneer homes can show internal floor variation, particularly near extensions or where the slab or subfloor system changes. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey helps quantify the slope and identify where it’s most pronounced.
Use the readings to guide your due diligence. If the floor profile shows a consistent slope or concentrated low points, you can request more information from the vendor (past repairs, insurance claims, drainage works) and factor likely follow-up costs into your offer. The results can also help you decide whether to commission further inspections, such as a building inspection or engineering advice.
