Burwood homes range from older timber floors to newer slab builds, and even small foundation movement can show up as uneven rooms, sticky doors, and cracking. A digital floor level survey maps those variations clearly so you can act before repairs become more invasive.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital level readings across accessible internal areas to build a clear picture of how the floor performs from room to room. This matters because gradual slopes and abrupt drops point to different causes and different repair approaches.
Your results highlight where the floor rises and falls, plus the general direction of fall. Knowing the “shape” of the floor is useful for diagnosing whether issues relate to an isolated section (like a rear addition) or a broader movement pattern.
We pay close attention to areas near bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens where moisture events can influence subfloors, bearers, or localised slab edges. These zones often show early warning signs as unevenness before visible damage appears.
Where Burwood homes have extensions or renovated wings, we measure across transition points to see whether the floor level change is consistent with construction junctions or suggests ongoing movement. This helps you plan repairs, levelling, or renovation work more accurately.
We present the measurements in a way a buyer or owner can use, with notes on notable deviations and what they can indicate. The aim is to help you understand whether the floor profile looks stable, mixed, or warrants further professional advice.
If readings suggest an issue beyond normal tolerance, we outline sensible next steps such as monitoring points, drainage review, or engaging a structural engineer. You get direction that matches the results rather than generic recommendations.

Yes. Many Burwood properties include suspended timber floors where bearers, joists, stumps, and moisture conditions can influence levels over time. A digital survey measures the floor profile across accessible rooms so you can see whether unevenness is consistent and gradual or concentrated in one zone. That distinction helps when deciding between maintenance, subfloor work, or further structural advice.
It can indicate patterns consistent with movement by showing measurable falls or abrupt changes across the floor. While a floor level survey doesn’t diagnose the exact cause on its own, the data is a strong starting point. If results suggest abnormal movement, we’ll recommend practical next steps such as reviewing drainage, checking for moisture issues, or consulting a structural engineer.
We measure accessible internal floor areas to create a representative map of the home’s floor levels. This commonly includes living areas, hallways, bedrooms, and other reachable rooms. We focus on capturing enough points to show the overall shape of the floor and highlight any notable variations. Areas blocked by stored items or inaccessible spaces may limit readings in those zones.
Yes. Transitions between original sections and extensions are a common place for level differences, especially when construction types differ (timber floor meeting slab, or different footing systems). We take readings across these junctions to show whether the change is isolated to the addition, concentrated near the connection, or part of a wider slope. This is particularly helpful before re-levelling or installing new flooring.
For the best coverage, clear small items off floors and create access to key rooms, hallways, and transition points between sections of the home. If you want specific areas checked—like a room with cracked cornices or a doorway that sticks—let us know in advance so we can plan the reading grid. Good access improves accuracy and helps the report reflect the whole footprint.
