Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital measurements at multiple points through living areas, hallways and bedrooms to capture how the floor behaves across the footprint. This matters because localised dips and edge heave can be missed if you only check one or two spots.
Results are compiled into a clear map/summary showing where the floor is high, low, or changing direction. The pattern is often more useful than a single number, helping identify whether movement is perimeter-related, central, or isolated to an extension or wet area.
We prioritise measurement runs around bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and adjacent corridors where moisture changes can influence slab behaviour. This helps flag areas where a leaking shower, failed waterproofing, or concealed plumbing leak may be contributing to movement.
We compare levels across doorways, transitions to garages, and any step-down/step-up points to reveal differential movement. These junctions commonly show early symptoms through sticking doors, misaligned frames, and widening cracks.
Alongside the readings, we document site factors that can affect slab moisture balance, such as downpipe discharge points, garden bed placement, paving levels, and visible drainage issues. These observations help connect the measurements to practical causes you can address.
We present the measurements in a format that supports next steps—maintenance recommendations, items to monitor, and when it’s sensible to engage a structural engineer. This is especially useful for negotiations, warranty queries, or planning remedial drainage works.

Get Digital Floor Level Survey as part of a comprehensive inspection package
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Many Cranbourne North properties are slab-on-ground, and slab homes can still experience movement when moisture around the footing changes. A Digital Floor Level Survey is useful if you’ve noticed cracking, sticking doors, or uneven floors, or if you’re buying and want evidence of current floor performance. The survey provides a measured baseline so you’re not relying on visual signs alone.
Common triggers include new or widening plaster cracks, doors that suddenly rub or won’t latch, gaps at cornices or skirting, and tiles that sound hollow or crack repeatedly in the same area. These don’t always mean structural failure, but they do justify measurement. A digital survey helps confirm whether the symptoms match a consistent floor level pattern.
The survey measures the floor’s shape and highlights patterns that are consistent with certain movement types, such as edge heave or localised settlement. While it doesn’t replace leak detection or engineering design, it can strongly indicate where to investigate next. We also note visible site and drainage factors that may be contributing, so follow-up work can be focused.
Changes like raised garden beds against walls, new concrete paths, or regraded soil can alter how water drains and where it soaks in. In Cranbourne North estates, small changes to downpipe discharge or surface falls can shift moisture around the slab edge, which may influence movement over time. A Digital Floor Level Survey helps confirm whether the floor is showing perimeter-related changes consistent with moisture imbalance.
You’ll receive a clear summary of the measurement results, including where readings were taken and what the overall floor level pattern looks like. We explain any notable variations in plain language and outline practical next steps, such as monitoring points, drainage improvements, or when it’s sensible to seek an engineer’s advice. This makes the information usable for decisions, not just data.
