Keilor East has a mix of mid-century brick veneer homes and renovated extensions where reactive clay soils and drainage changes can translate into uneven floors. A digital floor level survey pinpoints movement so you can act on facts, not guesswork.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take consistent digital readings throughout the home to build a level profile. This shows where the floor rises or falls and whether the change is localised (often tied to a specific footing line) or spread across multiple areas.
Keilor East renovations often join older structures to newer additions. We compare adjoining areas to highlight differential movement or construction height differences, helping you understand if the ‘step’ is structural movement or a build transition.
We interpret the readings to show the direction of fall and the shape of the floor plane. Patterns can indicate perimeter moisture influence, internal bearing issues, or changes along a wall line, guiding what to investigate next.
We pay extra attention to thresholds and high-traffic junctions where movement becomes obvious, plus bathrooms and laundries where leaks can contribute to localised subsidence and floor distortion.
Where present, we note floor level changes alongside observable symptoms such as cracking, door binding, or window operation issues. This helps you connect the measurements to what you can see and feel during a walkthrough.
You receive a structured summary of readings and key findings so trades and consultants can quote or assess efficiently. It’s designed to support next steps like drainage works, subfloor repairs, or engineering advice.

Many Keilor East brick veneer homes from the post-war era can show floor variation over time, especially where moisture around footings changes due to downpipes, paving, or gardens. A digital floor level survey measures the floor plane across rooms so you can see the extent and direction of movement. The pattern helps indicate whether it’s localised (one area) or broader across the dwelling.
A building inspection notes symptoms like cracking, sticking doors, or visible floor slope, but it doesn’t quantify floor movement across the whole home. A Digital Floor Level Survey provides measured readings and a mapped profile, showing exactly where the floor rises and falls. In Keilor East, this is particularly useful for homes with renovations, where transitions between original and new areas can mask underlying movement.
The survey doesn’t “diagnose” a repair method on its own, but it gives the hard data needed to make that decision. If the readings show concentrated drops or a consistent tilt that matches other indicators, it supports further investigation such as a subfloor assessment, drainage review, or an engineer’s opinion. It also helps builders quote more accurately because the extent of variation is documented.
Focus on the junction between the original home and the extension. A small step can be a construction transition, but a noticeable or uneven change across multiple points can suggest differential movement between foundation systems or moisture conditions. The survey readings show whether the extension is behaving differently to the original footprint, which is useful when checking permits, renovation history, and any claims about underpinning or restumping.
You don’t need an empty house, but access matters. Clear walkways and allow entry to each room so we can take consistent readings, especially along hallways, doorways, and near external walls. If large rugs or heavy items block key points, the level map can be less complete. For Keilor East properties with tight hall junctions or built-in cabinetry, a quick pre-visit tidy-up helps us capture better coverage.
