Box Hill South homes range from older timber-floor houses to newer extensions, and small changes in footing or subfloor moisture can show up as uneven floors—this survey pinpoints where movement is happening.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured set of digital measurements across accessible rooms to identify where the floor rises, falls, or changes direction. This matters because isolated dips can point to localised issues (like a bearer/joist area) while broader slopes can indicate footing movement.
Measurements are captured against consistent reference points so the results are comparable across the home. This helps you see patterns—such as a steady fall toward one side of the dwelling—which is more useful than a single “spot check”.
We pay attention to level changes at doorways, hall-to-room transitions, and between original areas and extensions. These are common pinch points in Box Hill South renovations where different construction methods can create noticeable steps or slopes.
Where readings show sharper changes, we highlight the specific locations to target follow-up checks. That might include areas to review underfloor supports (for timber floors) or edges of slabs where movement often shows first.
The report explains what the measured variations mean in practical terms, without overstatement. You’ll understand whether the numbers suggest minor undulations, a consistent slope, or abrupt changes that warrant specialist advice.
Where relevant, we include photos that relate to the measured areas (such as cracking near transitions or visible floor distortion). This links what you can see on-site with what the digital readings confirm.

Yes. Many established Box Hill South houses use timber floors supported by subfloor framing, which can change over time due to moisture, ventilation issues, or support settlement. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey measures the floor’s relative changes across rooms and highlights where the biggest variations occur. It’s a practical first step to decide whether you need a deeper subfloor or structural assessment.
You’ll receive a detailed report that records the measurement approach, notes the areas tested, and summarises the relative floor level variations found. We explain what the pattern of results commonly indicates and flag any locations that warrant further investigation. The aim is to give you clear, usable information for purchase decisions, planning repairs, or seeking specialist advice if needed.
It can help, but it won’t diagnose every cause on its own. Floor level readings show whether there is measurable distortion or slope near the areas where cracking is visible. If the measurements show abrupt changes around a crack zone, that supports the likelihood of movement-related stress. If levels are consistent, cracking may be related to materials, shrinkage, or other factors that need separate assessment.
They can create level transitions where different foundations and construction methods meet. In Box Hill South, it’s common to see older sections joined to newer extensions, and those junctions can develop steps, slopes, or differential movement over time. A digital floor level survey is particularly useful here because it measures the change across thresholds and adjoining rooms, helping you understand whether the transition is minor or significant.
Basic preparation helps us get more complete coverage. If possible, clear access to key rooms and avoid heavy items blocking corners and wall lines where readings are most useful. If the home is occupied, we can work around furniture, but the more floor area we can access, the clearer the level pattern becomes. If there are locked rooms or restricted areas, let us know before we attend.
