Chadstone has everything from older brick veneer homes to modern extensions—small foundation movement can show up as uneven floors between original rooms and renovated areas. A digital floor level survey helps you quantify it, not guess.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital measurements across rooms and circulation zones to identify rises, falls, and localised dips. This matters because floor level changes often correlate with where movement is occurring and whether it’s isolated to one area or affecting the broader footprint.
We focus on junctions where an older slab/subfloor meets newer building work, as these areas commonly show differential movement. In Chadstone, many renovated homes have additions that can behave differently over time, and the measurements help pinpoint that behaviour.
We assess the direction and consistency of slopes (for example, a steady fall along a hallway versus a sudden change at one corner). Patterns help distinguish broad settlement from localised issues such as edge movement or isolated subfloor/surface irregularities.
We document where each set of readings is taken so the report is usable for follow-up trades. This makes it easier to brief a builder or engineer on exactly where you want them to inspect, re-check, or quote remedial works.
Where accessible, we note relevant symptoms seen at the time—such as doors that bind, gaps at skirting boards, or cracking near openings—so you can compare what the numbers say with what you can see and feel underfoot.
You receive a report that explains measured variations in plain language and outlines when further investigation (such as an engineer’s review or drainage assessment) may be appropriate. The aim is to turn measurements into a decision-making tool, not just raw data.

A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures relative floor height differences across accessible areas of the home using digital levelling equipment. In Chadstone, this is especially useful where homes have been renovated or extended, as it can reveal level changes between original rooms and newer sections. The report outlines where the floor rises or falls, the pattern of variation, and what the results may indicate.
Yes. Rear additions and open-plan remodels can introduce noticeable level transitions, particularly where construction methods or footings differ between stages. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey quantifies the slope and shows whether it’s localised to the extension zone or part of a broader trend. If the pattern suggests structural movement, we’ll recommend the appropriate next step, such as an engineer’s assessment.
The primary purpose is to measure and map how much variation exists and where it occurs. We also provide practical commentary on common causes suggested by the pattern, but confirming the underlying cause can require further investigation. For example, levels that change sharply at one corner may warrant targeted checks, while consistent fall lines might point to broader settlement behaviour.
Two common Chadstone scenarios are (1) older homes that have been modernised with new flooring laid over existing substrates, and (2) properties with significant extensions where the join is concealed by open-plan layouts. If you notice door alignment issues, uneven transitions between rooms, cracking around openings, or a “downhill” feel in hallways, a digital floor level survey helps you validate the extent and likely footprint of the issue.
Ensure we can access the main internal areas you want assessed, including hallways and transitions between sections of the home. If possible, clear small items from floor edges so we can take consistent readings near walls and through doorways. If the property is tenanted or furnished, we can still complete many readings, but access limitations may reduce coverage in some rooms.
