Digital Floor Level Survey Essendon

Many Essendon homes have had decades of changes—renovations, extensions, re-stumping, or altered room layouts. Floor slopes can come from normal settlement, past structural work, or subfloor conditions. A Digital Floor Level Survey gives measured data across the home so you can see where the movement is occurring and whether it’s concentrated in specific sections that may need further investigation.

The survey measures and documents floor level variations and highlights where the changes are most pronounced. It does not diagnose every cause on its own, but it provides the evidence needed to decide whether further assessment is warranted. If the readings show significant differential movement, the results can be used to brief a structural engineer or support detailed quotes for re-stumping or levelling work.

We take readings across accessible internal floor areas, typically covering major rooms, hallways and transition points where unevenness is most likely to show. We also focus on junctions between older sections and additions, and we take extra care around wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries. The goal is a practical, property-specific map of floor level variation.

Yes, they can. When an older section is joined to a newer extension, or when walls are removed to create open-plan areas, the structure can behave differently across the join. Sometimes you’ll see a step, slope, or gradual fall that follows the line of the renovation. A Digital Floor Level Survey helps confirm whether the change is isolated to the addition or part of a broader movement pattern.

Use the measured outcomes to ask targeted questions before you commit. If level variation is concentrated in one zone, you can request information about past repairs, drainage changes, leaks, or renovation works in that area. If the pattern looks broader, you may want an engineer’s advice. The report can also support realistic budgeting and negotiation, based on documented findings rather than assumptions.
