Basic Digital Floor Level Survey in Coburg

Many Coburg homes have timber subfloors or have been restumped at different times, which can leave unevenness across rooms. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures the actual variation so you can see whether the floor is consistently sloping (often age-related) or whether there are sharper drops that may point to stump settlement, bearer/joist issues, or movement near an extension.

You’ll receive documented readings that show how floor levels vary across the inspected areas, along with commentary on notable high and low points and any abrupt changes. We also outline what those patterns commonly suggest and where follow-up checks may be worthwhile, such as reviewing subfloor supports, moisture sources, or site drainage that could be contributing to movement.

A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures floor variation and helps identify signs consistent with movement, but it is not a structural certification. If the readings indicate significant or uneven movement, we recommend targeted next steps, which may include a more comprehensive building inspection, a subfloor assessment (where accessible), or advice from a structural engineer to determine cause, severity, and required repairs.

Yes. Where an original dwelling joins a newer extension, differential movement can show up as a step in floor level or a distinct change in slope across a doorway or hallway line. Our measurements are taken to capture these transitions so you can understand whether the “old-to-new” junction is behaving evenly or whether it’s an area that needs further review for footing, drainage, or subfloor support differences.

Clear access to the main rooms is the biggest help—move small items off the floor and ensure we can reach corners and along walls where readings are most useful. If you’re in Coburg and the home has thick rugs, heavy furniture, or lots of stored items in hallways, shifting them beforehand improves coverage and the quality of the level map we can produce.
