Cranbourne West homes often mix newer slab builds with older extensions—small level changes can point to slab movement, drainage issues, or reactive soils that affect doors, tiles and cracking.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital readings through main walkways and large open-plan areas common in Cranbourne West homes and convert them into a clear level map. This shows where the floor drops or rises and helps separate normal construction tolerance from movement patterns.
We measure around reported problem points such as hallway cracks, door jambs that bind, and transitions between carpet and tiles. These locations often highlight differential movement between rooms or between a slab and an extension.
We pay special attention to perimeter rooms, bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where leaks or long-term moisture can influence ground conditions. Identifying a level change near wet areas can support further leak testing or plumbing investigation.
Where accessible, we compare levels between the house floor and adjoining spaces such as garages, enclosed alfresco areas or converted rooms. Differences can indicate separate pours, variable compaction, or a change in footing system.
We interpret whether the floor fall aligns with likely external moisture drivers (for example, falling toward a side boundary where downpipes discharge). This helps you prioritise drainage corrections that may reduce ongoing movement.
Your report includes measured level results, a summary of key highs and lows, and photos of relevant cracking or distortion. We explain what the pattern suggests, what is not indicated by the data, and when engineering advice is appropriate.

Yes. Even newer slab homes can show level variation due to site drainage changes, landscaping, plumbing leaks, or differential compaction between the main slab and adjoining pours (garage/alfresco). A digital survey quantifies the level changes across the home and highlights whether the pattern looks localised or more widespread, which helps you decide what to investigate next.
You’ll receive a detailed report with mapped digital level readings, a summary of key high and low points, and commentary on what the pattern may indicate. Where relevant, we include photos of cracking, door misalignment or tile issues observed during the survey, plus practical next steps such as monitoring, drainage review, or seeking engineering advice.
A Digital Floor Level Survey measures floor level changes and helps identify movement patterns, but it does not certify structural safety on its own. If the results show significant or unusual distortion, we’ll explain why it may warrant further investigation and recommend the appropriate follow-up, such as a structural engineer’s assessment or checks for drainage and plumbing issues.
They can. Extensions, enclosed alfresco areas and garage conversions may sit on different footings or a separate slab pour, and they don’t always move at the same rate as the original house. In Cranbourne West, this often shows up as a step at a doorway, cracking at the junction, or unevenness across a former external wall line. A digital survey helps map and compare these areas.
Clear access to key floor areas helps us take accurate readings. If possible, move small rugs, floor clutter and lightweight furniture away from walkways and room centres, and unlock any rooms you want included. Let us know about any recent plumbing issues, drainage works, or renovations, and point out cracks, sticking doors or bouncy floors so we can focus measurements where they matter.
