Keilor East homes often sit on reactive clay and include mid-century brick veneer builds and renovated extensions—digital floor level readings help pinpoint early signs of slab or stump movement before cracks and sticking doors get worse.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital readings across accessible internal floor areas to create a clear profile of highs and lows. This helps identify whether the floor is generally flat, shows localised dips, or presents broader trends that may relate to footing movement.
Where an extension meets the original structure, differential movement can show as a step or change in fall. We target readings around these transitions to highlight mismatches that often correlate with differing footing types, ages, or site drainage changes.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens can contribute to moisture variation from leaks or long-term seepage. We include measured checks around these zones to help flag patterns that may align with water-related soil softening or subfloor changes.
Hallways and door thresholds are practical reference lines for how the home is performing. Readings through these areas help explain symptoms like doors rubbing, gaps changing around frames, and floors that feel uneven underfoot.
A single dip can point to a local issue (such as subfloor support or bearers), while a broad slope can suggest site or footing influences. We interpret the overall pattern so you understand whether the concern is isolated or more structural in nature.
You receive a written summary of the digital readings, the likely meaning of the pattern observed, and practical guidance on monitoring, maintenance, or when to escalate to a structural engineer. The report is written for buyers, owners and renovators—not just trade professionals.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Yes. Many Keilor East homes are older brick veneer builds that can show gradual movement through uneven floors, cracked cornices, or doors that start to bind. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey provides measured floor readings across key areas, helping you understand whether the floor variation is minor and stable or suggests a pattern that warrants closer investigation before purchase or renovation.
It measures relative floor heights at multiple points to map how level (or uneven) the internal floors are. We record consistent readings across accessible rooms and interpret the pattern—such as localised dips, broad slopes, or changes where extensions meet the original home. It does not replace engineering design advice, but it gives clear data to guide next steps.
Often, yes. Sticking doors, new gaps around frames, and cracking in brittle finishes can be symptoms of movement or unevenness beneath the floor. Digital level readings help confirm whether the issue aligns with a particular zone (for example, near a wet area) or whether there’s a broader trend across the house. That clarity helps you decide whether to monitor, repair, or escalate.
Extensions and internal reconfigurations can introduce different footing depths, slab sections, or subfloor support conditions compared to the original build. In Keilor East, it’s common to see level changes where an older section meets a newer addition, especially if drainage or landscaping has changed over time. Our survey targets these junctions so you can see whether the transition is within expectations or indicates differential movement.
A Basic Digital Floor Level survey focuses on measuring the internal floor surface levels. If the home has an accessible subfloor, it may be discussed as context, but this service is primarily about quantifying level variation. If the readings suggest a subfloor issue (such as support movement) or footing concern, we’ll recommend the most relevant next step, which may include a more detailed inspection or engineering assessment.
