Burwood has a mix of older brick homes, timber floors and newer townhouse builds—small changes in movement can show up as bouncy floors, sticky doors and cracking plaster. A digital floor level survey pinpoints where the floor is out and how much, so you can act on facts, not guesses.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital floor level readings across rooms and along main traffic lines to create a clear map of where the floor deviates. This helps identify whether the issue is localised (one corner/room) or part of a broader pattern that could relate to footing movement.
Burwood homes often include rear extensions or renovated open-plan areas. We focus on level changes at junctions between older and newer construction, where differential settlement can cause steps in flooring, cracking at cornices, or gaps at skirtings.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens can be associated with moisture changes from leaks or poor waterproofing. We take targeted readings around these zones to see whether level changes align with water-related movement that may need further investigation.
Measurements mean more when linked to building symptoms. We note relevant indicators such as diagonal cracking, sticking doors, uneven bench lines or window binding and relate them to the level data to help you prioritise what to address first.
You receive a readable summary that explains the amount of level variation and the direction the floor falls across key areas. This supports clear conversations with builders, underpinning contractors, or structural engineers without relying on guesswork.
Where the readings suggest movement beyond typical tolerances, we outline sensible next actions such as monitoring points, drainage review, plumbing checks, or referral for engineering advice. If the data looks consistent with minor settlement, we explain what to watch for over time.

Burwood has plenty of homes that have been extended at the rear or reconfigured internally. Older footings and newer slabs can move differently, which often shows up as a step in the floor, cracking at the join, or doors that start rubbing. A digital floor level survey maps the level changes across those transition points so you can see whether the issue is localised or part of a broader movement pattern.
Your report will summarise the floor level readings taken across accessible areas of the property and explain where the floor rises or falls. We highlight the zones with the greatest variation and note related symptoms such as cracking or door misalignment observed during the survey. The report also includes practical recommendations, such as monitoring, drainage checks, or when to seek engineering input.
Yes. Sticking doors, window binding and cracking can be caused by movement, but they can also relate to humidity, poor workmanship or normal aging. The survey provides measurements that show whether the floor levels change in a way that matches those symptoms. If the data suggests movement, you’ll be in a stronger position to decide on further inspections, repairs or monitoring rather than patching cracks repeatedly.
They’re measured with the same digital approach, but the interpretation differs. Timber floors can show localised sagging from subfloor issues like stump movement, bearers/joists deflection or moisture-affected timbers. Slab-on-ground homes and townhouses may show broader falls linked to ground movement or construction tolerances. We tailor the measurement pattern to suit the floor type and note what the results most likely indicate.
It’s often a smart first step. The level data provides a factual snapshot of the floor performance and helps an engineer focus on the right areas, which can reduce time spent on-site and improve the quality of advice. If the survey indicates minimal variation, you may decide monitoring is more appropriate than escalating straight to major design or repair work.
