MONITORING

Precision monitoring to track foundation movement over time, confirming whether subsidence is active and guiding repair decisions.

WHAT IS MONITORING?

Structural monitoring involves installing measurement devices on a building to track any ongoing foundation movement over a period of time. This provides objective data on whether cracks are getting worse, stabilising, or improving — essential information for making repair decisions.

HOW IT WORKS

Crack monitors, tell-tales, or electronic sensors are installed across cracks and at key structural points. Regular readings are taken over a monitoring period (typically 12 months) to build a picture of movement patterns. Some systems provide real-time data via wireless sensors.

KEY BENEFITS

Objective data to confirm or rule out ongoing movement
Avoids unnecessary and costly repairs on stable cracks
Guides timing and type of repair if needed
Insurance-accepted evidence for claims
Identifies seasonal patterns in movement
Cost-effective first step before committing to repair

OUR PROCESS

1

Installation

Monitoring devices fixed across cracks and at structural reference points.

2

Baseline Reading

Initial measurements taken to establish a starting point.

3

Regular Readings

Periodic readings taken (monthly or continuous) to track any changes.

4

Data Analysis

Engineer reviews data to identify trends, seasonal patterns, and overall movement.

5

Report

Monitoring report summarising findings and recommendations for next steps.

IDEAL FOR

Properties where movement status is uncertain
Insurance claims requiring movement evidence
Post-repair verification that treatment has worked
Properties with historic cracks of unknown activity
Pre-purchase assessments where movement is suspected
