Mooroolbark Station Estate homes often sit on mixed cut-and-fill blocks and reactive clay soils common through Melbourne’s outer east, which can show up as sloping floors, sticking doors, and cracking. A Digital Floor Level Survey maps the movement so you can make the right repair or purchase decision.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We measure floor levels through main traffic areas (entry, hall, living, kitchen) to capture the overall ‘fall’ of the home. These zones often reveal whether movement is uniform (typical tolerance) or localised (possible footing or moisture issue).
We take readings in a consistent grid within bedrooms and wet areas so you can see exactly where the floor rises or drops. This helps target repairs such as subfloor packing, stump adjustment, or checking slab edges for moisture impacts.
Level differences often show up where a newer extension meets the original structure. We measure across these transitions to identify step-downs, ridges, or differential movement that can drive cracking and door misalignment.
The report explains whether the readings suggest a single-direction slope, a central ‘dish’, or localised drop at a corner. We relate patterns to common causes like drainage concentration, subfloor moisture variation, or fill settlement, without overstepping into engineering certification.
While measuring, we note symptoms that often correlate with level change—sticking doors, uneven gaps at architraves, cracking around openings, and bounce in suspended floors—so the numeric data matches what you experience day to day.
You receive a structured set of readings and a summary that makes it easier to obtain accurate quotes or engineering advice. This is especially useful for purchase negotiations in Mooroolbark Station Estate where buyers want evidence before committing to underpinning or re-levelling work.

Yes, because cracking alone doesn’t confirm the extent or direction of movement. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor across multiple points so you can see whether the issue is localised (for example, near a wet area or an extension) or consistent across the home. In Mooroolbark Station Estate, that data helps separate seasonal movement and drainage impacts from structural concerns needing further engineering advice.
The report documents measured variations across key rooms and explains where the high and low points sit within the home. You’ll see the pattern of movement and how it presents through corridors, living areas, and transitions between sections of the house. We also provide practical commentary on what the pattern may indicate and what professional next step makes sense if the readings are outside typical expectations.
Yes. For slab-on-ground homes, the readings can highlight edge drop, heave, or differential movement that may relate to moisture and drainage conditions. For suspended floors on stumps, the measurements help identify sagging bearers/joists, settlement at a line of supports, or isolated low points that may be corrected through re-levelling or subfloor repairs. The measurement approach is adapted to the construction type.
We often see floor level concerns linked to how water moves around the block—downpipes discharging near footings, garden beds built up against walls, or surface water tracking toward one side after landscaping changes. Mixed cut-and-fill sites can also show differential movement over time, and level changes may be more noticeable where older areas meet renovated sections. A survey helps confirm whether the pattern matches these site influences.
Clear access to rooms, hallways, and edges of spaces improves accuracy and speed. Where possible, move small rugs, floor clutter, and low furniture that blocks measurement points. Let us know about recent plumbing work, stormwater changes, or renovations, as these can affect interpretation. If the home has a subfloor, providing access to the manhole can help us align the readings with what may be happening underneath.
