Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital floor level measurements through the main walkways and representative rooms to identify where the floor rises or falls. This matters because a consistent gradient can point to settlement patterns, while isolated low points can indicate localised issues that may need targeted repairs.
We record the highest and lowest points found in the surveyed areas and relate readings back to a reference level. This helps you understand the scale of variation, not just whether the floor 'feels' uneven, and supports informed conversations with trades if follow-up work is required.
Bathrooms, laundries, and kitchen zones are checked for level changes that can be linked to moisture exposure, plumbing history, or movement at transitions. In Mooroolbark Station Estate, these areas often show the earliest signs of change when drainage or water management isn’t ideal.
Where accessible, we measure across junctions between older sections and additions to see if different footing types or construction periods are moving differently. This is important if you’re buying a home with an updated rear living area or converted spaces.
We include cross-check measurements through doorways and corridors to compare readings between rooms. This helps identify whether issues are confined to one section or part of a wider movement pattern that could affect cabinetry, tiling, or internal finishes.
You receive a written summary of the readings, key observations, and practical next steps, including whether monitoring is appropriate. The documentation is designed to be easy to hand to a builder, underpinning contractor, or structural engineer if further investigation is needed.

Yes. Even on concrete slabs, level variation can develop from soil moisture changes, drainage issues, or movement around slab edges and service penetrations. In Mooroolbark Station Estate, we often see buyers concerned about hairline cracking or sticky doors after landscaping or updates. A digital survey quantifies what’s happening and helps decide whether monitoring, maintenance, or further assessment is appropriate.
We measure selected representative areas such as main living spaces, corridors, and key rooms where unevenness is most noticeable. We also focus on transitions between rooms and around wet areas where movement can show first. If there’s an extension or a changed layout, we include readings across the join to see whether different sections of the home are performing differently.
The survey provides measurements and patterns that can indicate whether movement is likely and where it’s concentrated, but it’s not a structural design or engineering certification. If readings show significant variation or a pattern consistent with footing movement, we’ll explain what that suggests and recommend the right next step, such as a builder’s assessment or a structural engineer’s advice.
They can. Older parts of a home may sit on different footings to newer additions, and floor materials can respond differently over time. Changes to stormwater, paving, or garden levels can also alter moisture conditions around the building. A digital floor level survey helps identify whether the extension junction is behaving differently to the original structure, which is useful before further renovations or cosmetic repairs.
Clear access helps accuracy and coverage. If possible, remove small rugs, move lightweight furniture away from key walkways, and ensure rooms are accessible, including any converted spaces. Let us know about recent plumbing works, drainage changes, or renovations, as these can help interpret readings. We’ll work around typical household items, but better access usually means more complete results.
