Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured grid of readings across living areas, hallways and bedrooms to pinpoint high and low points. This matters because the location of the movement often indicates the likely driver—subfloor support spacing, bearer/joist issues, or a transition between building stages.
Results are recorded as measurable level differences, not just observations. Knowing the direction and extent of slope helps you prioritise repairs and supports clear communication with builders, restumpers or engineers.
We focus readings around doorways, thresholds and open-plan knock-throughs where old and new structures meet. These are common locations for differential movement and can affect cracking, floor finishes, and door alignment.
If you’ve noticed a springy section, we take tighter-spaced readings around that area to define the affected footprint. This helps determine whether the issue is a localised support problem or part of a broader floor level pattern.
We explain what the pattern suggests—such as isolated dips consistent with local support settlement versus broad slope that can be linked to drainage or subfloor moisture changes. It’s not structural design, but it gives you a clear direction on what to investigate next.
You receive a concise floor level plan showing measured variations and written notes on key areas of concern. The report is designed to be useful for negotiations, scope planning, or to attach to repair quotes in Fairfield.

It’s a smart first step if you’re seeing sloping, bounce, or doors that won’t latch. Many Fairfield weatherboards sit on stumps and bearers that can settle unevenly over time, especially where renovations have changed loads. A digital floor level map shows where the biggest variations are, helping you scope restumping properly and avoid over- or under-quoting.
You’ll receive measured floor level variations across the accessible areas we can survey, typically shown as a plan/map with key points highlighted. We also add notes explaining where the main high/low zones sit and what the pattern suggests (for example, differential movement near an extension join). It’s written to be usable for quotes, planning and follow-up inspections.
Furniture can limit where we can place readings, so we work around it and focus on creating a consistent grid where practical. Floor coverings generally don’t prevent measurement, but thick rugs and clutter can reduce access to corners and edges where level changes often show up. If you can clear small areas along walls and hallways, the map becomes more detailed.
Yes. Renovated Fairfield homes often have a transition between the original structure and an addition (rear extension or reconfigured open-plan area). We take targeted readings around those junctions because different foundations and subfloor systems can move differently. The results help you understand whether the join is performing evenly or showing differential settlement that may need investigation.
A floor level survey measures and maps level variation; it doesn’t, by itself, confirm structural safety. However, it can highlight patterns consistent with movement that warrants further assessment. If the readings show significant or uneven changes, we’ll explain the likely next step—often a subfloor inspection, drainage review, or an engineer’s opinion—so you can manage the risk properly.
