Brunswick’s mix of Victorian terraces, renovated weatherboards and extended homes can hide gradual floor movement—our survey maps level changes so you can pinpoint where settlement or subfloor issues may be starting.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic readings across each accessible room and key walk paths to create a clear map of high and low points. This matters because a single “noticeable slope” can come from a localised dip, a broader tilt, or an uneven transition between construction types.
We focus extra measurements at doorways, hallway junctions and the join line between the original Brunswick dwelling and later rear/side additions. These zones commonly reveal differential movement where foundations or subfloor structures were built at different times and to different standards.
We take additional points around bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where moisture, past leaks or plumbing alterations can affect subfloor timber, stump stability, or slab edge performance. The goal is to identify whether level changes align with areas most vulnerable to water-related movement.
We place readings along external walls and internal load paths to see whether the floor profile suggests perimeter settlement, central sag, or a combination. This helps narrow down whether issues are more likely linked to stumps/bearers, localised subfloor deterioration, or foundation behaviour.
Your report presents the floor level profile in a format that’s straightforward to share with a builder or engineer. Instead of relying on subjective descriptions like “feels uneven”, you get a documented set of measurements to support quotes and scope discussions.
We explain what the pattern of levels can suggest (for example, localised dips versus broad movement), and when it’s sensible to escalate to structural engineering advice. This keeps you focused on the most likely causes and avoids unnecessary work based on guesswork.

Yes. Many Brunswick terraces and older homes have timber floors on stumps with subfloor spaces, where gradual movement can present as sloping, springy patches or uneven transitions between rooms. A Digital Floor Level Survey maps the floor profile so you can see whether the issue is a local dip (often linked to subfloor support) or a broader tilt that may justify further structural assessment.
You’ll receive a clear set of measured readings and a mapped overview showing where the floor rises and falls throughout the accessible areas tested. We summarise the pattern of levels, highlight notable changes (such as sharp drops near doorways or extensions), and explain what that pattern may indicate. The report is designed to be useful for follow-up discussions with builders or engineers.
In most cases, yes. We take readings at the finished floor surface, which is still valuable for showing the overall level profile and changes between rooms. If areas are heavily obstructed by furniture or inaccessible due to stored items, coverage may be reduced. We’ll advise beforehand on how to prepare so we can capture consistent points across the home.
That’s one of the most practical uses of this service in Brunswick. We take additional measurements across the transition points between the original dwelling and the extension to identify level steps, twisting, or gradual slopes. Where the readings show a clear change in behaviour across that junction, it can help determine whether you’re looking at normal construction tolerances or movement needing further investigation.
It’s strongly recommended if uneven floors are part of the reason you’re considering major works. A survey provides a baseline of the current floor profile, helps quantify where the biggest deviations are, and supports more accurate scoping with your chosen trade. It can also help verify outcomes later by repeating the survey and comparing results after rectification.
