Maribyrnong homes near the river flats and older renovations can show subtle movement that only becomes obvious once doors stick or tiles crack—digital floor level mapping helps pinpoint where the floor is out and how it’s changing.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple calibrated readings across each accessible room to create a clear map of high and low points. This matters because movement patterns (gradual slope versus abrupt changes) can indicate different causes and help prioritise further checks.
We measure around doorways, corridors and transitions between rooms, where unevenness often shows up first. These readings help explain sticking doors, gaps at architraves, or cracking around openings—common early indicators of differential movement.
Where an original Maribyrnong dwelling meets a newer extension or townhouse-style addition, we focus extra readings along the join line. Different footing depths and construction periods can settle differently, and the data can show whether the levels change sharply at the interface.
We target additional points in and around wet areas to identify localised falls or heave that can contribute to tile cracking, grout failure, and shower leaks. These areas also help interpret whether moisture may be playing a role in movement.
If there’s safe access to a subfloor, we note support conditions such as bearer and joist alignment, subfloor ventilation limitations, and signs that the structure may be contributing to unevenness. This links the floor level readings to what may be happening underneath.
You receive a report summarising level variation, key areas of concern, and practical recommendations—such as monitoring points, maintenance actions, or when to engage a structural engineer. The aim is to make the measurements useful for decisions, not just numbers on a page.

Parts of Maribyrnong sit close to the Maribyrnong River and low-lying ground, where moisture conditions can vary more than you’d expect. Changes in ground moisture can contribute to movement that shows up as subtle slopes, bouncing floors, or cracking near openings. A Digital Floor Level Survey gives a precise map of level changes, helping you understand whether the pattern is localised or affecting the whole home.
Your report includes measured level readings taken across accessible areas, presented in a way that makes high and low points easy to interpret. We summarise where the main variations occur, note common contributing factors observed on-site, and outline practical next steps. If the pattern suggests structural movement beyond normal tolerance, we’ll recommend whether monitoring or further assessment (such as a structural engineer) is appropriate.
Most surveys take around 45 to 90 minutes on-site, depending on the size of the home, the number of rooms, and furniture access. Homes with multiple levels, long hallways, or several wet areas can take longer because we capture more reference points. We’ll let you know beforehand what access we need so the measurements are consistent and the final map is reliable.
Yes. In Maribyrnong it’s common to see older dwellings updated with rear extensions or reconfigured layouts. When different sections of a home are built at different times, they may use different footing systems and settle at different rates. A digital level map can reveal abrupt changes around the join line, which helps determine whether the unevenness is cosmetic, related to construction transitions, or worth further investigation.
The survey measures and maps floor level variation with high accuracy, which is a strong indicator of how a building is performing. It does not, by itself, diagnose every structural cause. However, the pattern of readings—combined with what we observe on-site—can indicate whether movement is likely ongoing or localised, and whether you should monitor, repair contributing factors, or engage a structural engineer for a formal assessment.
