Camberwell’s mix of older weatherboard homes, renovated bungalows and extended period houses can hide subtle floor movement between original rooms and additions. A digital floor level survey helps pinpoint where and how much the floor has shifted before cracks, sticking doors or uneven rooms become costly repairs.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital measurements across accessible rooms to identify changes in height and slope direction. This matters because a consistent fall can suggest general settlement, while sharp changes over short distances can point to localised support issues.
Camberwell properties often have extensions and remodels. We compare readings between original areas and newer works to highlight step-downs, transitions and differential movement that can affect flooring, cabinetry alignment and door operation.
We map where the floor peaks and dips, then describe the pattern in plain language. Movement patterns help you decide whether to engage a structural engineer, inspect stumps/bearers, or investigate drainage and site moisture influences.
We pay close attention to hallways, large openings created during renovations, wet areas near bathrooms/laundries, and edges near external walls. These zones often show the first signs of settlement or support change and can affect livability quickly.
Your report sets out measured variations in a way that builders and engineers can work with, including where the readings were taken and what the relative differences are. This helps avoid guesswork when quoting rectification works.
If readings suggest notable unevenness, we outline sensible next steps such as subfloor inspection, stump assessment, or engineering advice. If the readings are minor and consistent, we document that so you can proceed with realistic expectations.

Yes. Many Camberwell weatherboards are on raised subfloors, where stump condition, bearers and seasonal moisture changes can influence floor levels. A digital survey measures the extent and pattern of unevenness, helping you tell the difference between gradual, consistent slope and sharper variations that may align with localised support issues or past alterations.
We measure accessible internal floor areas across key rooms and transitions, using a digital level from a set reference point. The aim is to build a practical picture of relative height differences across the dwelling. We focus on areas where unevenness affects function, such as corridors, living rooms, and transitions between original rooms and renovated spaces.
A floor level survey measures and documents floor variation; it does not, by itself, diagnose the root cause. However, the movement pattern can strongly indicate where further investigation should focus. If readings show abrupt changes or concentrated low points, we may recommend follow-up checks such as a subfloor inspection, plumbing review, or advice from a structural engineer.
Yes. Rear extensions can sit on different footings or slabs than the original home, and the junction between the two is where differential movement can show up. We take readings across these transition points to identify step changes or changing slope direction. The results help you assess whether the transition is cosmetic, needs levelling, or warrants further structural review.
Use the measurements to inform your decision and your negotiations. If the report shows notable unevenness, you can request further investigation, obtain quotes for levelling or subfloor work, or adjust the offer based on documented findings. If the variation is minor and consistent, you can proceed knowing what to expect and plan future upgrades accordingly.
