Bayswater North homes range from older stumped builds to newer slabs, and even small shifts can show up as uneven floors, sticking doors, or cracked plaster—especially after wet winters and drainage changes from renovations.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital readings across living areas, hallways, bedrooms, and wet areas to create a clear map of high and low points. This shows whether an uneven feel is localised (e.g., one corner) or part of a broader pattern that may warrant further investigation.
We assess how levels change across distances to identify slopes, ridges, and “dishes”. The direction of fall can be important, as it may correlate with external moisture influence, subfloor support issues, or differential movement between an original home and an extension.
Where the home includes extensions, rear additions, or enclosed verandahs, we measure both zones and the transition points. This helps identify step-downs, hinge points, or separation lines that often appear where different footing systems or construction periods meet.
We focus extra readings around areas where symptoms often show first, such as near large openings, along internal load-bearing lines, beside bathrooms/laundries, and around fireplaces or chimneys. These locations can reveal concentrated movement that a general walk-through can miss.
For homes on stumps, we interpret the floor level patterns in context of typical subfloor support behaviour—such as localised settlement, springiness, or twisting across bearers and joists. The aim is to flag patterns consistent with support issues versus general floor wear.
You receive an easy-to-follow summary of findings, level variations, and key areas of concern. The report is structured so it can be shared with an engineer or builder to support quoting, scope decisions, and prioritising further diagnostics if required.

It’s often worthwhile, especially if the home feels bouncy, doors bind, or floors slope through hallways. Many older Bayswater North houses have subfloors where stump settlement or bearer/joist movement can create unevenness that’s hard to quantify by sight. A digital survey maps the pattern so you can decide whether the next step is subfloor access, stump assessment, or an engineer’s review.
A standard inspection can note symptoms such as cracking or sloping, but it usually won’t quantify how much and where. A Digital Floor Level Survey provides measured differences and shows how levels change across the home. This is useful when you need to compare areas, discuss causes with a builder or engineer, or set a baseline for monitoring after drainage, restumping, or renovation works.
It can identify and document level variations consistent with movement, but it doesn’t diagnose the exact cause on its own. Floor levels are one piece of the puzzle alongside cracking patterns, subfloor condition, drainage, and footing type. If the readings show notable gradients or abrupt changes, we’ll explain what they may indicate and when it’s sensible to engage a structural engineer for confirmation.
Extensions can sit on different footings or be built at a different time, so the original home and addition may move differently. In Bayswater North, it’s common to see updated rear living areas or enclosed spaces that introduce new drainage and load paths. A digital survey highlights transition points and step changes, helping you understand whether unevenness relates to the join between sections or a broader issue.
Before buying is ideal if you’ve noticed sloping floors, patchy cracking, or doors that don’t latch properly, because measured results can guide negotiations and next steps. After settlement, it’s still valuable for troubleshooting and planning rectification or renovations. Either way, the key benefit is having a clear map of level variation so decisions aren’t based on assumptions.
