Ringwood North has a mix of older brick veneer homes, timber floors and sloping blocks—small foundation movement can show up as uneven rooms and sticking doors. A digital floor level survey pinpoints where the floor is out and by how much.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital readings through main rooms and circulation areas to build a clear picture of how the floor behaves throughout the dwelling. This matters in Ringwood North homes where mixed construction (original house plus extension) can create noticeable level changes.
We assess whether the floor shows a consistent fall (often tied to site slope), a localised hump (sometimes linked to subfloor supports), or twist across a span. Recognising the pattern helps you decide whether monitoring is reasonable or whether you should investigate footings, stumps or bearers.
If you’ve noticed sticking doors, window binding or cracks near openings, we take additional readings nearby to see if there’s measurable floor distortion. This links day-to-day symptoms to a quantifiable floor profile rather than relying on guesswork.
We measure changes at thresholds between rooms and at transitions to extensions or renovated areas. These spots commonly reveal differential movement in Ringwood North houses that have been updated over decades.
Where accessible and relevant, we note factors that can influence timber floor levels, such as ventilation, moisture signs and support spacing. This is particularly useful in older Ringwood North homes where subfloor conditions can affect springiness and level over time.
You receive a report that summarises the measured variations and highlights areas that deviate from the general plane. We explain what the readings mean, where the most significant differences are, and what sensible next steps look like for your property.

Yes. In Ringwood North, a natural site fall can create a consistent slope through the home without indicating a defect. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey helps separate an even, predictable fall from irregular changes like a corner dropping or a mid-span hump. The pattern of readings is important, especially where cut-and-fill or retaining walls may influence movement over time.
We take digital readings through main internal areas such as living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, then add extra points where symptoms exist (for example near cracks, sticky doors or noticeable dips). The goal is to capture enough data to show the overall floor profile and identify localised variations that may need further investigation or monitoring.
The survey quantifies floor variation and highlights where movement appears concentrated, which is a key input when considering restumping or underpinning. However, it doesn’t replace a full structural diagnosis because causes can vary (subfloor supports, drainage, footing performance, or renovation interfaces). If the readings show significant or irregular changes, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next step.
Often, yes. Ringwood North has many homes with raised timber floors where bearers, joists and stumps can settle or shift over time, and subfloor moisture and ventilation can contribute to movement. A digital floor level survey is useful because it turns ‘it feels uneven’ into measurable data, helping you target repairs to the areas that are actually out of plane.
Clear access to the rooms you want assessed and remove small obstacles along walls and hallways so we can take consistent readings. If you’ve noticed specific issues (cracks, doors that rub, or a dip near a window), point them out at the start so we can include targeted measurement points. If subfloor access is available, ensure the entry is unlocked and safe.
