Park Orchards blocks are often larger and sloped, and many homes sit on reactive clay soils or raised subfloors—small movements can show up as uneven floors, sticky doors, and cracking. A digital floor level survey measures it accurately, so you can act on facts, not guesswork.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We record digital floor level readings across accessible rooms to build a clear map of rises and falls. This helps identify whether the issue is a general slope, a localised dip, or a ‘hinge’ point where levels change abruptly.
We establish a consistent reference point so the results can be compared over time. This is useful in Park Orchards where seasonal moisture changes can cause movement—repeat surveys can confirm whether the floor is stabilising or progressing.
We highlight areas with the greatest variation, such as around extensions, hallway junctions, wet areas, or where the home transitions from slab to timber subfloor. Differential movement is often what drives cracking and door/window binding.
For homes with raised timber floors, we note visible indicators that can relate to level variation, such as uneven bearer/joist support, subfloor ventilation constraints, or moisture-prone zones near bathroom and laundry plumbing runs.
We relate the observed level pattern to plausible site influences such as sloping blocks, cut-and-fill, drainage paths, and garden irrigation. This helps you target the right next step—drainage review, plumbing checks, or structural advice.
You receive a structured report explaining the measurement pattern, the key high/low areas, and what to watch for. If monitoring is recommended, we outline where future readings should be focused to track movement effectively.

Park Orchards homes often include extensions added over time, sometimes on different footings or floor systems. A digital floor level survey shows how the existing structure is sitting before you build, so you can plan tie-ins properly and avoid cracking or misaligned finishes later. It’s also useful on sloping blocks where cut-and-fill can create different movement zones across the floor plan.
Common signs include doors that start rubbing or swinging open, new cracks around door frames or cornices, uneven tiles, and noticeable slope along hallways. In homes with timber floors, you may also feel a change in level between rooms. A digital floor level survey measures the extent and pattern of the variation so you can decide whether monitoring, maintenance, or further investigation is needed.
Yes. We measure floor levels across accessible internal areas regardless of whether the home is on a slab, a suspended timber floor, or a combination. The measurement approach remains consistent, but the interpretation considers the floor type. For example, timber subfloors can be influenced by bearer/joist support and ventilation, while slabs can reflect soil movement and moisture changes around the perimeter.
They can be. Park Orchards has many larger, landscaped properties where water can be directed by driveways, paths, garden beds, and downpipe discharge. On a sloping site, runoff can concentrate in certain zones and change soil moisture near footings, contributing to differential movement. A digital floor level survey helps show whether the pattern of level change lines up with likely external influences worth checking.
You’ll receive a written report summarising the measured floor level pattern, identifying the most relevant variations, and outlining practical next steps. Many clients use it to guide drainage or plumbing checks, inform repair planning, or support discussions with builders and engineers. If monitoring is suitable, we’ll suggest how to re-check the same areas later to confirm whether movement is ongoing.
