Princes Hill homes often include older Victorian-era terraces and period cottages where subtle floor movement can hide behind neat renovations. A digital floor level survey maps rises and dips room-by-room so you can act on evidence, not guesswork.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We measure floor levels across each accessible room using a consistent grid so the report shows the true floor profile, not a single spot reading. This helps identify where variation is localised (eg one corner) versus widespread across the dwelling.
The survey highlights the direction floors are falling and where the high and low points sit. Understanding fall lines helps narrow down whether movement is likely related to a specific wall line, a subfloor support zone, or a transition between building stages.
Where an older Princes Hill home has been extended, we take additional readings around doorways and junctions to show level changes between structures. This is useful when assessing cracking, sticking doors, or visible steps between floor surfaces.
We document observed floor type and access limitations that affect interpretation, such as timber floors with subfloor voids versus slab areas, heavy floor finishes, or raised thresholds. These notes help your builder or engineer match the data to the likely support system.
The measurement layout is designed to be repeatable, making it suitable for re-checks after drainage works, restumping, or seasonal monitoring. A consistent baseline allows meaningful comparison rather than relying on memory or photos.
You receive a straightforward report showing the measured variations and what they may indicate, plus recommendations on when to consult a structural engineer, when to inspect subfloor supports, and when to monitor rather than intervene.

Older Princes Hill homes can show gradual floor slope from age, earlier structural changes, or uneven subfloor support, and it’s not always obvious during an inspection walk-through. A digital floor level survey quantifies the variation across each room and shows where it concentrates. That makes it easier to decide whether you need subfloor access checks, engineer advice, or simple monitoring.
Floor coverings can influence what you can physically access, but the survey still provides useful results. We take readings on the finished floor surface and note where thick carpets, floating floors, or built-in joinery limit measurement points. The report explains these constraints so you understand what the numbers represent and where follow-up checks may be worthwhile.
Yes. Cracking near openings or at the junction of an original dwelling and a rear addition often aligns with changes in floor plane. The survey maps level differences through those transition zones, which helps determine whether the cracking is consistent with differential movement. From there, you can prioritise checks such as subfloor supports, drainage, or engineering assessment.
We focus on creating an even grid across living areas, bedrooms, hallways, and any transition points where levels often change, such as between original rooms and later extensions. In Princes Hill, thresholds, long corridors, and rooms with altered fireplaces or removed walls can be revealing. We also take extra readings where occupants report bounce, dips, or sticking doors.
Use the report to understand the size and location of level variation and whether it looks localised or widespread. It can support targeted follow-up, such as obtaining a structural engineer opinion or a restumping assessment, rather than asking for vague allowances. It also helps you discuss specific rooms or zones with the agent and make a more confident offer based on measured evidence.
