Brunswick’s mix of older weatherboard cottages, brick terraces and renovated homes can hide gradual floor movement from subfloor moisture, ageing stumps and past extensions—digital floor levels help you see it clearly.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take precise measurements through main traffic zones to identify consistent falls, sudden steps, or localised dips that can indicate stump settlement, joist deflection, or changes from prior renovations.
Your report includes a layout-style summary of readings so you can see where the floor is highest and lowest, making it easier to discuss findings with a builder, restumper, or engineer.
We focus readings around bathrooms, laundries and typical extension zones where water leaks, re-stumping interfaces, or altered framing can create localised movement that isn’t obvious from a quick walk-through.
We interpret whether the readings suggest an overall slope, a centre sag, a perimeter drop, or an isolated depression—patterns that often point to different causes and different repair approaches.
Where thick carpet, built-in cabinetry, or fixed furniture prevents consistent measurement, we document the constraint so you understand the confidence level of each area and what extra access would improve accuracy.
If readings indicate significant variation, we outline sensible follow-ups such as subfloor assessment, drainage review, or engineering advice, so you can plan repairs or negotiate with clearer information.

Yes. Many Brunswick weatherboards are raised on stumps, and even minor stump settlement or bearer/joist deflection can show up as measurable changes across rooms and hallways. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey quantifies the variation so you can tell whether the slope is consistent or whether there are localised low spots that may justify a subfloor inspection or restumping assessment.
You’ll receive documented digital readings with a clear summary of where the floor deviates and how the pattern presents (for example, an overall fall versus a local depression). We also note areas we couldn’t measure well due to access or floor coverings, and we provide practical recommendations on whether further investigation—such as subfloor checks, drainage review, or engineering input—should be considered.
They can. If the survey shows pronounced variation or a pattern consistent with movement, it gives you objective information to raise with the agent or vendor. It may support requests for further investigation, repair quotes, or contract conditions. Keep in mind the readings indicate the extent and pattern of level changes, but the underlying cause may require subfloor access or specialist advice to confirm.
Yes. Even where the structure is primarily brick, internal floors can still show movement from changed load paths, older timber subfloors, or alterations during renovations. In Brunswick, where extensions and internal reconfigurations are common, digital floor levels can highlight uneven transitions between original sections and newer works, helping you identify areas that may need further assessment before you renovate or settle.
Uneven floors can relate to moisture issues around wet areas, subfloor ventilation problems, deflection in bearers or joists, or settlement at junctions where older structures meet newer additions. Past alterations—such as removing walls or changing openings—can also affect how loads are carried. Digital floor levels help locate the problem zones, then a targeted follow-up inspection can investigate the likely cause.
