Moonee Ponds homes range from older weatherboards to renovated period terraces and modern apartments—digital floor level readings help spot unevenness from movement, subfloor moisture and past alterations before it becomes costly.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a series of digital measurements across key internal areas to identify how flat (or uneven) the floor plane is. This matters because consistent slopes can point to overall settlement, while sharp changes often indicate localised movement or structural issues.
We establish a stable reference datum and follow a repeatable grid-style approach where access allows. This creates results that can be compared over time—useful if you want to monitor movement after seasonal changes or after rectification works.
We look for patterns such as a high point/low point, abrupt level transitions near openings, or sagging along spans. These patterns help narrow down possible causes like subfloor support movement, bearer deflection, or uneven settlement near wet areas.
Bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and renovated sections can be hotspots for moisture-related movement or changes to framing. We pay particular attention to these zones because even small leaks or poor ventilation can contribute to floor distortion over time.
Where access permits, we relate floor level results to what may be happening underneath—such as re-stumping quality, packing, ant caps alignment, ventilation adequacy, or evidence of damp conditions. This helps link the measurements to likely contributing factors.
You receive a report that summarises level variations, highlights areas of concern, and explains what the findings may indicate. We also note when an engineer, plumber, drainage specialist, or further structural inspection would be the appropriate next step.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Many Moonee Ponds period homes have timber floors and subfloors that have been altered over decades—re-stumping, extensions, and changes to ventilation and drainage can all influence movement. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey records the actual level variations room by room, helping you tell the difference between gentle, consistent settlement and sharp changes that may relate to support movement or moisture-affected areas.
We measure accessible internal floor areas such as living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, and we pay close attention to transitions near doors, openings and wet areas where movement can show up first. We set a reference point and take multiple readings to build a picture of the floor plane. If furniture, floor coverings or access limits readings, we note these constraints in the report.
The report documents the level variations and highlights patterns that commonly align with specific issues, such as localised settlement, subfloor support changes, or moisture influence near wet areas. While digital levels can strongly indicate where the problem is presenting, confirming the exact cause may require additional investigation (for example subfloor access, plumbing checks, drainage review, or engineering assessment). We outline sensible next steps based on what we observe.
Yes, especially if you notice bounce, sloping, or cracking, or you’re buying a renovated unit. In Moonee Ponds, apartment living often includes a mix of original and upgraded interiors, and changes to floor finishes can hide unevenness. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey helps quantify the floor plane within the unit’s accessible areas, which can inform discussions with the vendor, builder, or owners corporation if follow-up is required.
Use the measurements to make a calm decision. If the results show a consistent slope across the home, it may reflect long-term settlement that’s been stable. If the readings show abrupt changes, isolated low spots, or a pronounced fall near wet areas or an extension, that’s a prompt to request further checks or quotes. The mapped results also help you negotiate based on documented findings.
