Burnt Bridge homes around Ringwood often sit on reactive clay and mixed cut-and-fill blocks, which can show up as sloping floors and sticking doors—our survey pinpoints where movement is happening.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a grid of level readings across living areas, hallways, and bedrooms (where accessible) to create a clear picture of how the floor behaves throughout the home, not just at one point.
Measurements are tied to a consistent benchmark so variations are comparable across the property. This helps identify whether the floor changes are localised (e.g., one corner) or part of a broader pattern.
We document the highest and lowest areas and the direction of slope. This is critical for assessing likely movement zones and for planning repairs or underpinning assessments.
Where visible, we note relevant symptoms—such as stepped brick cracking, plaster fissures, or doors rubbing—so you can relate the floor level data to what you’re seeing day to day.
We pay particular attention to transitions between original homes and later additions (such as rear extensions or converted garages), as different footing types can create measurable level changes.
You receive a straightforward summary of findings and measured variations so you can share the results with a builder or structural engineer if further assessment is required.

In Burnt Bridge, it’s common to see older homes updated with rear living extensions, enclosed verandas, or converted garages. These areas may sit on different footing systems or slab depths, which can settle differently over time. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the level changes across the transition points so you can see whether the slope is isolated to the addition or part of a broader movement pattern.
Uneven floors can occur before obvious cracking appears, or the cracking may have been patched and repainted. The survey provides measurable floor height differences across rooms, helping you confirm whether the issue is minor and localised or consistent across the home. It also helps you identify the direction of fall, which can guide further checks such as drainage, subfloor ventilation, or moisture sources.
No. A Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on measuring floor levels and documenting variations so movement can be assessed with real data. A building inspection is broader and looks at defects across the property, such as roof, walls, wet areas, and general condition. Many buyers use a floor level survey as an add-on when movement is suspected or when the home shows signs like sticking doors, cracked finishes, or sloping corridors.
Parts of the Ringwood area, including Burnt Bridge, can have reactive clay conditions where moisture changes between wet winters and dry summers contribute to ground movement. That movement can translate into slab or stumped-floor level changes, especially where site drainage isn’t directing water away effectively. A Digital Floor Level Survey helps you quantify what’s happening so you can decide whether further investigation, monitoring, or engineering advice is warranted.
Ensure clear access to as much of the internal floor area as possible, including hallways, corners of rooms, and areas near external walls. If rugs or clutter block key points, move them where you can. If the home has a subfloor access hatch, make it accessible too—while the survey measures internal levels, relevant subfloor observations can help interpret results. We’ll work around furniture where practical.
