Ringwood is about 1877 people per square kilometre. Standard construction where the cause is usually blocked vents rather than a water problem. Ringwood sits near 123 metres. Subfloor clearance varies across a single house on ground like this.
At roughly 25 kilometres out, Ringwood has estate housing on slabs, so subfloor ventilation is not usually the answer to a damp problem. Being part of Maroondah, Ringwood follows the standard Victorian position on subfloor ventilation: licensed, compliant, certified.
Ringwood borders Croydon and Donvale. If we are in one of them, we are minutes from you. Ringwood covers about 10.2 square kilometres of Maroondah. The 2021 census put the population at 19144, and the postcode is 3134.
Background that shapes the job: In 2009, the State Government controversially approved the building of a nine-storey housing development near Ringwood Lake, without Council or public consultation. Build era decides whether the house has a suspended floor at all, which is the whole question here. Croydon, Donvale, Heathmont and Mitcham and Ringwood form one continuous area for us rather than a list of separate suburbs.
Ringwood is around 7.4 kilometres north-west of our workshop in Boronia, close enough that the van is stocked for the job before it leaves. Ringwood railway station sits in the suburb, which is a fair marker of where the oldest housing in Ringwood tends to be.
