Heathmont has plenty of older brick veneer and weatherboard homes on sloping blocks, where subtle movement can show up as uneven floors and sticking doors. A Digital Floor Level Survey pinpoints what’s happening across the home so you can act with confidence.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take consistent readings across living areas, hallways and bedrooms (where accessible) to build a clear picture of how the floor behaves throughout the home, not just at one “problem spot”. This helps identify whether unevenness is localised or part of a wider pattern.
The survey highlights where the floor peaks and where it drops, and how quickly it changes between points. This matters because sharp transitions can indicate local issues (such as a bearer or stumping concern) while broader, gradual slopes can relate to the site or original construction.
We pay close attention to areas where movement often shows first: doorways between rooms, long corridors, and joins between original sections and later renovations. These zones are useful for understanding whether different parts of a Heathmont home are moving differently.
Where available, we relate readings to practical signs such as sticking doors, cracking at internal linings, or noticeable floor bounce. This links the measurements to what you’re seeing day-to-day, so the numbers are easier to interpret and act on.
If the subfloor is accessible, we note relevant context that can influence levels, such as ventilation, damp conditions, and support configuration (e.g., bearers, joists, piers). This helps explain why certain areas may read lower or show greater variation.
You receive a structured summary of the floor level results, key areas of variation, and practical recommendations on what to monitor or who to speak with next (such as a builder, restumper, or structural engineer), depending on the pattern observed.

It’s a smart step if the home shows uneven floors, cracking, sticking doors, or if it has a mix of original rooms and later additions. Many Heathmont homes have had renovations over decades, and a digital survey helps confirm whether differences in floor level are likely due to original construction tolerances, changes from extensions, or movement that should be investigated further.
A standard inspection can identify symptoms, but a Digital Floor Level Survey quantifies them. You’ll see where the floor rises and falls, how much it changes across rooms, and where the most significant transitions occur. That measurement-based detail helps with decisions like whether to monitor, obtain engineering advice, or budget for works such as restumping or subfloor adjustments.
Yes. Before installing tiles, engineered timber, or new cabinetry, it’s useful to know how level the floor is and where the problem zones are. In practice, this can reduce surprises like lipping tiles, uneven bench lines, or doors that won’t clear new finishes. The survey helps your builder plan floor preparation and identify areas that may need structural attention first.
They can be. On a sloping site, different parts of a home may interact with the ground and drainage differently, and older homes may also have varying subfloor heights. A Digital Floor Level Survey won’t guess the cause, but it will show the pattern of floor variation. That pattern is valuable for deciding whether the slope looks consistent with the site or suggests a specific area needs investigation.
Time varies with the size and layout of the home, but the process generally involves taking readings throughout accessible internal areas. Clear access to rooms and hallways helps us capture a meaningful set of points. If there is a safe, accessible subfloor manhole, that access can add useful context, but the core survey is based on the internal floor measurements.
