Keysborough homes often combine older brick veneer builds with newer estates; a Digital Floor Level Survey pinpoints unevenness that can show up as sticking doors, cracked plaster, or slab movement on reactive soils.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple readings across each accessible room to produce an accurate level profile. This shows exactly where floors dip or rise, helping you link symptoms like plaster cracking to measurable movement rather than assumptions.
We highlight areas where the level changes more abruptly—often around hallways, openings, and transitions between original builds and additions. Pinpointing these zones helps target repairs and avoids blanket re-levelling or unnecessary structural work.
Where practical, we establish repeatable reference points so later surveys can be compared reliably. This is useful in Keysborough if you want to monitor movement across seasons or after drainage improvements.
We note relevant site observations at the time of measurement—such as door operation, visible cracking patterns, and floor feel—so the numerical results are supported by what’s occurring in the home.
Your report includes a readable plan showing the relative floor levels and the magnitude of variation. This gives builders and engineers a practical baseline for diagnosing causes and specifying the right repair approach.
We explain likely contributing factors seen locally (such as drainage, moisture variability and construction transitions) and outline what to do next—whether that’s monitoring, rectifying stormwater fall, or engaging a structural engineer for design advice.

Many Keysborough blocks sit on reactive clay, which can shrink and swell as moisture changes around the home. That movement can show up as measurable floor level variation, especially near external walls, wet areas, or poor drainage points. A Digital Floor Level Survey won’t diagnose the soil itself, but it will quantify the movement pattern so you can decide whether monitoring or engineering advice is needed.
We measure accessible internal floors across living areas, bedrooms, hallways and other agreed spaces. Readings are taken at multiple points to build a level profile rather than a single spot check. If access is restricted by furniture, floor coverings, or stored items, we’ll note the limitations and focus on obtaining a representative set of measurements across the home.
Yes. Newer builds and townhouses can still show level variation due to site drainage, slab performance, or differences between adjoining sections of construction. The survey provides a clear baseline so you can confirm whether slopes are within expected tolerances or whether there’s a pattern that deserves follow-up before settlement or before the builder warranty period ends.
It can be very helpful. Where an extension joins an older section, you can get differential movement or a noticeable step/transition over time. The survey maps the level relationship between the original and newer areas so you can see whether the issue is localised to the addition, related to moisture or drainage changes, or showing across the broader footprint.
The report quantifies the floor level variation and highlights where it occurs, which is the key first step. Whether restumping, slab rectification, or drainage works are required depends on construction type, causes, and how movement is trending. If the readings indicate significant or uneven movement, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next step, which may include a structural engineer assessment.
