Croydon Hills homes often combine sloping sites with older brick veneer builds and newer renovations—digital floor level readings help spot early movement before cracks, sticking doors, and costly rework appear.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured set of level readings across key internal areas to build a clear picture of how the floor plane changes from room to room. This matters because consistent fall may be less concerning than sharp level changes that can indicate localised movement.
We document where readings are taken so the survey can be repeated later in the same locations. That repeatability is critical if you want to track whether an uneven area in your Croydon Hills home is stable or gradually changing over time.
The report highlights the areas that sit highest and lowest and shows the direction floors are trending. Knowing the direction of fall helps you correlate findings with drainage, downpipe discharge points, garden beds against walls, or areas of past repairs.
Where accessible, we note factors that can affect floor levels such as stepped extensions, changes in flooring type, visible cracking patterns, or evidence of past structural alterations. These notes help you interpret whether results may relate to construction changes rather than new movement.
We summarise the level variation in a way that’s easy to understand, including which rooms show the most change and where thresholds between areas are uneven. This is especially useful for buyers comparing multiple properties around Croydon Hills and Ringwood.
Based on the pattern of readings, we outline sensible next steps, such as scheduling a follow-up survey after seasonal changes, seeking an engineer’s advice, or addressing drainage and moisture management that may be contributing to movement.

Sloping blocks can create different moisture and drainage conditions across a home’s footprint, which may show up as uneven floors before other symptoms are obvious. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey measures the floor plane with digital equipment and maps where changes occur. In Croydon Hills, that data is useful for checking whether the slope feels consistent with the site or whether there are localised dips that warrant further investigation.
We measure accessible internal floor areas across key rooms and main walkways, taking multiple readings to build a clear level profile. We focus on locations that best show changes between living areas, bedrooms, and connecting corridors. Wet areas and carpeted rooms can still be measured where access allows. We’ll explain any limitations on the day if furniture, stored items, or restricted access prevents readings in certain spots.
The survey provides measured floor level variation and the pattern of fall, which helps identify whether movement appears uniform or irregular. It does not, by itself, confirm the exact cause or prescribe structural works like underpinning. If the readings suggest abnormal movement, we’ll recommend the appropriate next step, such as engaging a structural engineer or investigating drainage and moisture control, so any repairs are properly designed.
Yes. Renovations can hide floor issues with new plaster, fresh paint, or new floor coverings, and extensions can introduce level changes where old and new structures meet. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey helps you quantify whether an “old-to-new” transition is a normal step in construction or part of a broader unevenness pattern. It’s particularly useful when the home has had staged upgrades over different years.
Time varies with the size and layout of the home, but most surveys are completed within a typical inspection window. To get the best coverage, clear access to rooms, hallways, and areas where you’ve noticed unevenness. If possible, keep pets secured and ensure we can safely move through the home without tripping hazards. We’ll take readings systematically and then compile the results into a clear, usable report.
