Braybrook homes often mix older weatherboards with renovated extensions—digital floor level mapping helps spot uneven settlement between original stumps and newer slab areas before cracks and sticking doors worsen.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple digital floor level readings across each accessible room and create a clear map of rises and falls. This matters because movement patterns (not just a single slope) help indicate whether the issue is localised or affecting the broader structure.
We pay special attention to doorways, hall-to-living transitions, and areas where an older home meets a newer extension. These junctions in Braybrook homes can show differential settlement between different footing types or construction eras.
We document the highest and lowest points found in the measured areas and where they occur. Knowing the extremes helps you discuss practicality and scope of rectification, such as re-levelling sections of a subfloor or investigating a suspected problem zone.
Where accessible, we note movement signs that commonly align with level variation—cracking near openings, racked door frames, gaps at skirtings, and sloping thresholds. This matters because the floor level data is strongest when read alongside the building’s visible behaviour.
If furniture, floor finishes, or limited access restrict measurements, we record those constraints so the results aren’t over-interpreted. In lived-in Braybrook properties, this transparency helps you understand what was measured and what may need further investigation.
We present the findings in a format that builders and engineers can quickly interpret, including measurement locations and patterns. This helps you seek accurate advice or quotes for re-stumping, subfloor adjustment, or further structural assessment if needed.

Yes. Many Braybrook weatherboards sit on stumps and can develop unevenness from subfloor movement, repairs over time, or changes to site drainage. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor’s rises and falls across rooms so you can see whether the pattern suggests localised issues (like one corner) or broader movement. It’s a practical starting point before committing to major re-levelling work.
A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey focuses specifically on measuring floor level variation and mapping how the floor changes across the home. A full building inspection is broader and assesses many elements such as walls, roof space, wet areas, and visible defects. If you’re mainly concerned about sloping floors, cracking that seems movement-related, or an extension that feels uneven, the floor level survey is a targeted option.
Usually, yes. We can take readings in accessible areas and work around typical furniture placement where possible. If heavy items, tight rooms, or floor coverings limit where we can measure, we note those limitations in the report so you understand the coverage. If you need very detailed grid coverage, we can discuss access needs before the inspection to avoid gaps.
It can. Where an original dwelling connects to an extension, the two sections may sit on different footings and can move differently over time. We place extra measurement points along transition lines such as doorways and openings to map level changes. If the data shows a clear step or progressive fall across the junction, it’s a strong prompt to investigate footing performance and site drainage in that area.
The report provides measured floor level variation and the pattern of movement, which helps guide next steps. If the readings show significant or uneven changes, or the pattern aligns with cracking and racking, we may recommend further assessment by a qualified builder or structural engineer. For minor, consistent slopes that appear stable, you may simply monitor or address contributing factors like drainage and moisture management.
