Brunswick East homes often blend older cottages and terraces with modern rear extensions—floor level changes can reveal movement at joins, subfloor areas, and renovated sections before cracking becomes obvious.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital measurements through accessible internal areas (such as hallways, living spaces, and bedrooms) to identify rises, falls, and localised dips that can indicate movement or subfloor issues.
A fixed reference point is established so readings are consistent across the survey. This makes the results easier to interpret and useful for comparing with future checks if you want to track movement over time.
Where a Brunswick East home has a rear extension or altered floor plan, we target readings near the transition points. Level changes at these joins can suggest differential movement between old and new structures.
We don’t just note that a floor is uneven—we describe the direction and pattern (for example, gradual fall across a room versus a sharp dip). Patterns help narrow likely causes and guide next-step advice.
We document relevant observations such as drainage fall outside, garden beds against walls, visible cracking locations, or signs of past re-levelling work, linking these to the measured floor variations.
You receive a detailed report summarising measurements and what they may indicate, plus sensible recommendations—such as monitoring, subfloor inspection focus areas, or engaging an engineer where readings suggest significant movement.

Many Brunswick East properties have been updated over time, with an older front section and a newer rear extension. Different construction methods and footings can move differently, which shows up as a step, slope, or twist in floor levels. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey measures those variations room-by-room and around transition points, giving you evidence to decide whether to monitor, investigate the subfloor, or seek structural advice.
It measures relative floor heights at multiple points using digital equipment, creating a map of rises and falls across accessible rooms. The goal is to identify the amount and direction of level variation, plus whether it’s gradual or localised. These results can indicate where movement may be occurring and which areas deserve further investigation, particularly where cracking, sticking doors, or uneven finishes have been noticed.
No. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey provides accurate measurements and clear commentary, but it is not a structural engineering certification. If the readings show significant variation, or if there are other warning signs such as progressive cracking or pronounced distortion, we may recommend engaging a structural engineer. The advantage is that the engineer receives measured data and a clear picture of where the issue appears most pronounced.
They can be. On smaller Brunswick East blocks, changes to drainage, paving, garden beds, and vegetation can alter moisture conditions around a building. Renovations and extensions can also introduce different footing types and load paths, which may lead to differential movement over time. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey won’t diagnose every cause on its own, but it will show the movement pattern so the next investigation is focused and cost-effective.
Start by using the pattern in the measurements to guide next steps. If the variation is localised, a targeted subfloor inspection or checking for water entry points may be appropriate. If the variation is widespread, increasing, or associated with cracking, sticking windows/doors, or visible distortion, you should consider an engineer’s assessment. We’ll outline practical options in the report based on what we observed onsite.
