Jolimont homes and apartments sit close to parklands, rail corridors and older footings where small movements can show up as uneven floors—digital level mapping helps pinpoint whether it’s minor settlement or an active foundation issue.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a grid of readings throughout accessible rooms to create a floor level profile, showing where the floor rises, falls or dips. This matters because movement patterns often point to the likely source—such as perimeter settlement versus a localised bearer/joist issue.
A consistent reference point is established so results are meaningful and can be compared over time if you need monitoring. This is important in Jolimont where seasonal moisture changes can make movement appear and disappear across different times of the year.
We pay particular attention to transition points (old-to-new extensions, hallway-to-living joins, and areas near wet rooms). Differential movement at these junctions can indicate differing footing depths or altered drainage after renovations.
Readings are concentrated near bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where leaks can soften supporting soils, and near external walls where downpipe discharge or blocked stormwater can affect footing performance. These are common triggers for unevenness that a level survey can help corroborate.
Where safe and accessible, we note observable symptoms that typically align with level changes—sticking doors, cracking around frames, and gaps at architraves/skirtings. This helps you link the measured slope to what you’re seeing day to day.
You receive a concise summary plus floor level results in a format you can share with a builder or engineer. If results suggest active movement or significant differential levels, we outline sensible follow-ups such as engineering advice, drainage review or subfloor inspection.

Yes. In Jolimont, it’s common to find older sections paired with newer extensions, which can move differently due to footing depth, subfloor configuration or drainage changes. A digital survey maps levels across both areas, highlighting where movement is uniform versus where it changes abruptly. That detail helps you decide whether you’re dealing with an old, stable slope or a more active differential issue.
The report records measured floor levels taken across accessible areas and presents them in a clear layout so you can see rises, falls and localised dips. We also explain what the pattern suggests (for example, a gradual fall across a wing versus a sharp change near a wet area). Where relevant, we note visible symptoms that commonly correlate with the readings.
No. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures and documents floor levels; it does not replace engineering design advice. The survey is often used to inform an engineer, builder or restumping contractor by providing objective data. If readings indicate significant differential movement or a pattern consistent with footing issues, we’ll recommend the appropriate next step, which may include an engineer’s inspection.
They can be, particularly if you notice sloping, bouncing or doors that don’t latch. Apartments may have different floor systems (concrete slabs vs framed floors) and different movement drivers than houses. A digital level survey helps clarify whether the floor plane is within a tolerable range or whether there’s a distinct dip or slope that should be investigated further, especially around modifications and wet areas.
Clear access to floor areas where possible—especially hallways, room centres and around the perimeter walls—so readings can be taken consistently. If rugs or stored items cover large sections, moving them helps improve coverage and the usefulness of the level map. If you’ve noticed specific symptoms (cracks, sticking doors, recent repairs), point them out so we can target readings around those zones.
