Vermont South has a mix of mid-century brick veneer homes and renovated extensions where slab edges, re-stumping and new openings can create uneven floors—digital level data helps pinpoint movement early.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic readings across accessible rooms (such as hallways, living areas and bedrooms) to create a clear floor profile. This shows the direction and magnitude of any slope, helping identify whether the pattern suggests general fall, localised dipping, or movement around specific areas.
Where the home has been extended or reconfigured, we focus on transitions between the older footprint and newer works. Differences in floor level at these junctions can indicate settlement differences, slab-to-timber interfaces, or movement that may affect finishes and door clearances.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are checked for level changes and localised low points that can relate to moisture impacts, degraded subfloor supports, or slab movement. These readings support decisions about waterproofing upgrades, tiling, and cabinetry alignment.
We capture readings through doorways and along corridors to identify twist or racking patterns that often correspond with sticking doors, cracked plaster, or misaligned frames. This helps link the measurements to the symptoms you can already see.
The survey highlights areas that warrant closer investigation—such as a concentrated dip near an external wall or a pronounced change near a structural opening. This makes it easier to brief a builder, engineer, or restumper on exactly where to look.
Your report summarises the level variations in plain language, with notes on likely contributing factors and what monitoring or further assessment may be appropriate. It’s designed to be used for pre-purchase decisions, renovation planning, or baseline data for future comparisons.

Yes. Many Vermont South brick veneer homes sit on timber subfloors or older slabs, and they’ve often had partial renovations. A digital floor level survey measures the floor profile room by room, helping you confirm whether the slope is consistent or localised. It’s especially useful when you’re seeing cracked plaster, uneven flooring, or doors that don’t latch properly.
A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on measuring floor heights and mapping variations across accessible areas. It does not replace an engineer’s structural design advice or invasive investigations. If the readings show significant or uneven movement, we’ll note the areas of concern and suggest the most sensible next step, such as a more detailed inspection or engineering review.
Yes. If you’re installing new flooring, joinery, or opening up walls, knowing the existing floor levels helps avoid surprises. The survey can highlight where floors dip or twist so your builder can plan levelling, packing, or transitions properly. It also helps confirm whether an extension junction is already out of level before you add new finishes.
They can. Extensions are often built at a different time and sometimes on a different footing system, which can lead to slight height differences or differential movement between the original house and the new section. A digital floor level survey is designed to measure these transitions so you can see whether the change is minor and stable or steep enough to warrant further investigation.
Clear access helps us take consistent readings. Try to keep floors free of clutter, move small rugs where possible, and ensure we can access hallways, doorways and key rooms. If there are areas you’re worried about—like a bouncy section of floor or a sticking door—point them out at the start so we can prioritise those locations in the reading set.
