Basic Digital Floor Level Surveys in Fitzroy North

Yes. Many Fitzroy North terraces have had decades of settlement plus renovations that change loads and subfloor airflow. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey gives you measured data rather than guesswork, showing whether the slope is gradual across the home or sharper at specific joins. It’s especially useful before buying, or before levelling floors as part of a renovation.

A building inspection looks broadly at the condition of the property, including visible defects and maintenance issues. A digital floor level survey focuses specifically on measuring floor height variations and mapping movement patterns. In Fitzroy North, where homes often have mixed original and renovated areas, floor level data can pinpoint where structural or subfloor investigation should be concentrated.

Not always. The Basic Digital Floor Level survey is primarily taken from inside the home using digital equipment and selected measurement points. If subfloor access is available, we can add helpful observations to better explain the pattern we find. If access is limited (common on tight Fitzroy North lots), the level mapping still provides valuable evidence for next steps.

They can. Extensions may sit on different footings or have a different floor system and may respond differently to moisture and load changes. We often see level changes at the transition between original rooms and newer rear living zones. A digital floor level map helps show whether the movement is isolated to the extension, concentrated at the join, or part of a wider settlement pattern.

We’ll explain the likely meaning of the pattern and the sensible next step based on what we observed. That may include monitoring over time, checking drainage and plumbing around the affected area, or referring to a structural engineer for assessment. If you’re purchasing, the results can also guide your negotiation strategy and the scope of any specialist follow-up.
