Sloan Hill homes on sloping blocks and mixed-era extensions can hide gradual floor movement. A digital level survey pinpoints unevenness before you renovate, buy, or troubleshoot cracks.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a grid of digital readings across key rooms to produce a clear picture of how the floor plane changes throughout the home. This matters because movement rarely shows evenly; mapping helps identify whether the issue is localised (one corner/room) or part of a broader pattern.
The survey records the direction of fall and the highest and lowest areas. Knowing where the floor is rising or dropping helps pinpoint likely contributors such as subfloor support points, footing performance, or changes where an extension meets the original structure.
We pay close attention to junctions between original areas and additions, hall-to-room transitions, and wet area boundaries where floor build-ups can change. These spots commonly reveal differential settlement or construction changes that create a step, twist, or gradual slope.
Where readings suggest a dip or ‘soft’ area, we note likely causes such as bearer or joist deflection, subfloor packing changes, or concentrated loads. This helps you understand whether the issue is more likely structural support-related versus footing movement.
Your report presents the measured variations in plain language and highlights areas that warrant further investigation. It’s designed to be practical for negotiations and follow-up trades, not just a set of numbers without context.
We outline sensible next actions based on the level pattern observed, such as monitoring points over time, obtaining an engineer’s opinion, or checking drainage and moisture management. This keeps your response proportionate to the evidence.

On sloping sites, small changes in support conditions can show up as a gradual fall across rooms or a twist between ends of the house. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures those variations precisely and maps where the highs and lows sit. That helps you judge whether the issue is likely site-related movement, an extension junction, or localised subfloor deflection that needs a different fix.
You’ll receive documented floor level readings taken across accessible internal areas, presented in a way that highlights the degree and direction of slope. The report flags the most affected zones, explains what the measured patterns commonly indicate, and provides practical next-step recommendations such as monitoring, further structural assessment, or checks to drainage and moisture control around the home.
Yes. Cracks, sticking doors, and gaps at cornices can relate to uneven floor movement, but they can also come from renovation changes or general building ageing. A digital level survey shows whether the floor is moving as a broader plane or whether the issue is concentrated in one area. That evidence helps you prioritise the right follow-up, rather than repairing symptoms only.
Extensions can introduce different footing depths, subfloor systems, and load distribution, which may create a step or a subtle change in slope where the old and new meet. A Digital Floor Level Survey is useful because it measures those transitions objectively across multiple points, helping you identify whether the change is a construction junction effect, localised deflection, or part of a wider movement pattern.
A clear path across rooms helps us take consistent readings. If possible, move small items and provide access to the areas you’re most concerned about, such as near cracks or where floors feel uneven. We can usually work around standard furniture, but tight corners and blocked edges can limit the reading grid. If there’s an accessible subfloor manhole, letting us know in advance is helpful.
