Digital Floor Level Survey in Dandenong

Yes, especially where the home is raised on stumps or has had partial restumping. Older Dandenong weatherboards can show bounce, localised dips, or diagonal slopes that are difficult to quantify by eye. A digital survey maps the pattern room by room, helping you tell the difference between general age-related deflection and movement that may relate to supports, drainage, or moisture changes.

The survey doesn’t diagnose cracking on its own, but it provides strong supporting evidence. If the floor level profile shows a consistent slope or a localised drop near the cracked area, it can indicate movement that may be contributing. We combine the level pattern with what we observe onsite and recommend the right next step, which may include monitoring or structural engineering advice.

We measure across key rooms and along main movement lines such as hallways, living areas, and bedrooms, then add targeted points near wet areas and around noticeable symptoms like door misalignment. The goal is to capture a representative profile of the dwelling, including transitions between rooms and any areas that feel uneven, so the results are meaningful for decision-making.

They can. It’s not unusual to find a level change where an original dwelling meets a newer rear extension, particularly if the original is raised construction and the addition is a slab, or if site drainage was altered during works. A digital floor level survey shows whether the transition is a simple construction step or whether the slope continues beyond the join, which can suggest ongoing movement.

Use it to make your decision more evidence-based. If the profile shows only minor, consistent fall, you may choose to accept it and monitor over time. If the survey shows concentrated drops, twisting, or uneven movement across structural lines, you can request further investigations, budget for repairs, or negotiate price and terms. It’s also useful documentation for future comparisons.
