Richmond’s mix of Victorian terraces, renovated weatherboards and newer townhouses can hide subtle floor movement after renovations, re-stumping or drainage changes—digital floor level data helps you spot it before cracks and sticking doors worsen.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We measure floor levels at multiple points across main rooms and hallways to create a clear picture of rises, falls and slopes. This matters because small, consistent gradients can be normal, while abrupt changes can point to localised movement, altered supports or subfloor issues.
Richmond renovations often connect older timber floors to newer works at the rear. We focus readings along these junctions to identify step-downs or differential movement that may indicate settlement, inadequate support, or construction transitions that need monitoring.
We flag areas with the most pronounced variation so you know where to look next. Hot spots can correlate with prior wall removals, wet areas, external drainage problems, or subfloor support changes, helping you prioritise follow-up inspections or quotes.
Where practical, we document stable reference locations so future measurements can be compared. This helps owners and buyers track whether movement is ongoing, seasonal or stable after repairs such as restumping or drainage upgrades.
The report explains readings in the context of common Richmond construction types, including timber-joisted floors on stumps and mixed-material renovations. That context helps you interpret whether the pattern matches typical ageing or suggests abnormal movement.
We include photos of relevant areas (such as noticeable transitions, cracking near level changes, or high/low points) and explain what the measurements mean. You get an actionable summary rather than raw numbers only.

Yes. Many Richmond terraces have timber floors and older subfloor supports that can settle unevenly over time, especially after internal wall changes or rear renovations. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey provides measured evidence of where the floor is rising or falling. It helps separate general ageing from more localised movement that may need restumping, improved drainage, or further structural assessment.
The survey can strongly indicate when restumping or subfloor support work should be considered by showing pronounced or localised level variation. However, it doesn’t replace a physical subfloor inspection or structural design advice. If readings suggest abnormal movement, ACE Building and Pest Inspections will recommend targeted follow-up, such as checking stump condition, bearers and joists, moisture sources, and ventilation.
Time varies with the home’s size and access, but most Richmond properties can be measured efficiently once rooms are accessible. You’ll receive a written report summarising key level changes, the main areas of concern, and what those patterns may indicate. We include practical next steps so you know whether to monitor, investigate subfloor supports, or seek specialist advice.
Yes. Mixed construction is common in Richmond townhouses, and level transitions can occur where materials and structural systems change. We can measure accessible internal floor areas to identify unevenness and whether the pattern is isolated to one level or consistent throughout. The report will also note where floor coverings or access limitations may affect measurement coverage and interpretation.
Floor level changes can be influenced by renovation work (especially removing walls or altering subfloor supports), drainage and stormwater management around narrow side passages, and moisture impacts near wet areas like bathrooms and laundries. In some streets, traffic vibration can also contribute to wear in older structures. Digital measurements help link what you feel underfoot to a clear pattern you can investigate properly.
