Box Hill South has a mix of older timber homes, renovated weatherboards and newer builds on cut-and-fill blocks—small changes in movement can show up as sloping floors and sticking doors. A digital floor level survey pinpoints where the floor is out of level, how much, and in which direction.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take consistent digital readings throughout accessible areas to create a level profile of the home. This shows exactly which rooms are sloping and how the levels change as you move through the house, which is critical in Box Hill South homes with mixed original and renovated zones.
The survey identifies the highest and lowest points and the direction the floor falls. This helps you understand whether the issue is localised (for example, one corner near a wet area) or part of a broader pattern that may relate to footings or subfloor support.
We focus on junctions between original homes and additions—common in Box Hill South—because differential movement often shows up as uneven thresholds, step changes, or cracking where structures meet.
Doorways, hallways and main walk paths are checked closely as they amplify small changes in level. These locations also correlate with symptoms like doors rubbing, latches not aligning, and skirting gaps that buyers frequently notice during inspections.
Where accessible, we note how level changes align with observed indicators such as cracking patterns, gaps at architraves, or uneven tile lines. This links measurements to real-world signs, helping you prioritise further investigation.
You receive a readable summary of results, key areas of concern, and a simple layout of the level profile. It’s designed to be practical for obtaining quotes or sharing with an engineer when you need advice on restumping, packing, drainage improvements, or other rectification options.

Yes. Many Box Hill South homes have timber floors, older stumps, or past restumping where the quality and age of work varies. A digital survey measures the floor profile room by room, so you can see whether the slope is gradual and consistent or concentrated in one area. That difference is important when deciding whether the issue is likely support-related, extension-related, or something to monitor.
The survey provides precise measurements and the pattern of level change, which is a strong starting point for decisions. It doesn’t replace engineering design, but it can indicate whether the unevenness is localised or widespread and whether levels change sharply at certain lines (often seen around bearers, joists or extension junctions). If the results suggest structural movement, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next step.
We take readings across accessible internal floor areas, focusing on living rooms, hallways, bedrooms and key transition points such as between original areas and renovations. We also pay close attention to doorways and areas where symptoms are commonly reported. If access is limited by furniture, floor coverings, or locked rooms, we’ll explain what could and couldn’t be captured so the results are interpreted correctly.
Rear extensions and rebuilt sections can settle differently to the original house, especially where construction methods and footings differ. In townhouses, tight side setbacks and drainage paths can concentrate moisture in certain zones, which may influence movement over time. A digital floor level map highlights level changes at junctions and along wall lines, helping you see whether the issue relates to one stage of construction or the building as a whole.
Yes. A Digital Floor Level Survey creates a clear baseline that can be repeated later to confirm whether movement has stabilised. This is useful after works such as restumping, packing, subfloor support adjustments, or improvements to site drainage and downpipe discharge. Keeping consistent reference points allows changes to be tracked objectively rather than relying on memory or cosmetic signs that can be patched.
