Vermont has a mix of older brick veneer homes and renovated timber floors where subtle movement can show up as sloping rooms, sticking doors and cracked plaster—our digital survey pinpoints exactly where the floor is out of level.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a grid of digital readings through areas like halls, living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms to map the direction and amount of floor fall. This matters because isolated dips can indicate localised stump/bearer issues, while broad fall can point to overall ground movement or subfloor settlement.
We record the relative highs and lows and show where transitions occur between rooms. This is useful in Vermont homes with extensions or reconfigured layouts, where level differences can affect flooring installation, cabinetry alignment and door clearances.
We pay attention to level changes at doorways, laundries, bathrooms and kitchen areas where flooring often changes. These points are important because they can hide sudden steps or slopes that impact trip risk, waterproofing interfaces and the fit-out of new finishes.
Alongside the measurements, we note site and building factors that commonly influence levels, such as subfloor support layout (where visible), evidence of past restumping, and areas where cracking patterns align with measured fall. This helps you know what to investigate next, not just what the numbers are.
We present results in a structured format that supports follow-up advice, including referencing measurement points and summarising the overall floor behaviour. This saves time when you need an engineer to advise on footing performance or a builder to scope rectification works.
If you’re planning new flooring, an extension, or remedial works, we can provide a baseline set of readings you can compare against later. In Vermont, where seasonal ground movement can be a factor, having a baseline helps you track whether changes are ongoing or stable.

Vermont homes often sit on reactive clay soils that expand and shrink with seasonal moisture changes. Over time, that can contribute to floor slope, cracking, and doors that won’t latch properly. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the actual variation across rooms, so you can see whether issues are localised (for example, a subfloor support area) or consistent across the home.
Yes. Many Vermont properties have had extensions, open-plan conversions, or partial restumping, which can create noticeable level changes where the old structure meets the new. The survey maps floor levels across transition points and rooms so you can quantify any step or fall. This is particularly helpful before installing new flooring or joining different floor finishes.
The report sets out measured floor levels across nominated points and summarises where the floor rises or falls. It highlights the main high and low points, the direction of fall, and the magnitude of variation. We also include interpretation notes to help you understand what the pattern may suggest and what follow-up checks (such as engineering advice) may be appropriate.
A suspended timber floor can show movement differently to a concrete slab. With timber, localised slope can relate to stumps, bearers or joists, and renovations can introduce uneven transitions. We still measure the floor levels digitally, but we also pay close attention to the pattern of variation between rooms, which can help indicate whether the issue is isolated under a section of floor or more widespread.
If you’ve noticed cracks, sloping, or sticking doors, booking the Digital Floor Level Survey alongside a building inspection can be very efficient because the findings can be considered together. If your main concern is confirming the extent of floor movement for renovation planning, the level survey can be done as a standalone service. Call ACE to talk through what you’re seeing in the property and we’ll recommend the best approach.
