Mooroolbark homes often sit on sloping blocks and modified sites where drainage and soil movement can show up as uneven floors—this survey measures it precisely, room by room.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic readings throughout living areas, halls and bedrooms to build a clear map of floor levels. This shows where the floor falls and whether changes are gradual or concentrated, which helps identify movement patterns rather than relying on a visual guess.
Measurements are referenced to a nominated datum point so the data remains internally consistent across the home. This makes it easier to compare different zones (original house vs extension) and supports follow-up surveys if you want to monitor change over time.
We flag areas with notable level variation, including transitions at doorways, along load paths, and across large open-plan spaces. Concentrated changes can indicate localised footing issues, subfloor support problems, or past alterations that have shifted how loads are carried.
Where accessible, we relate the level results to practical signs such as door/window operation, skirting gaps, and crack locations. This helps you understand whether the level profile aligns with what you’re seeing and where further specialist input may be warranted.
Mooroolbark’s varied topography can influence how water moves around and under a home. We include observations relevant to floor levels, such as fall toward the house, downpipe discharge points, and subfloor airflow limitations that may contribute to movement patterns.
Your report presents the floor level profile in a straightforward format and explains what it suggests about the home’s performance. We outline practical next steps, such as monitoring, engaging a structural engineer, or investigating drainage/subfloor improvements, depending on the pattern.

Many Mooroolbark properties are built on sites with natural fall, cut-and-fill, or retaining walls. These conditions can lead to uneven support over time, especially if stormwater is not directed well away from the house. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the direction and amount of floor fall across rooms, helping you understand whether the slope is uniform and stable or suggests localised movement that needs investigation.
A building inspection can identify symptoms such as cracks, sticking doors, or bouncy floors, but it won’t quantify how the floor is sitting across the home. A Digital Floor Level Survey provides measured results that show where the floor changes, how quickly it changes, and whether one section behaves differently from another. That data is useful when deciding on monitoring, repairs, or seeking engineering advice.
Yes. The survey is performed from inside the home by taking consistent level readings across accessible floor areas, so it suits many common Mooroolbark property types, including raised timber floors and brick veneer houses. For raised floors, the results can be particularly helpful for identifying patterns consistent with stump movement, bearer support issues, or changes around wet areas and extensions. Access and floor coverings can affect where readings are taken.
Older homes can have some unevenness, but red flags tend to be abrupt changes over short distances, strong falls toward one corner, or a distinct “hinge” line where levels drop at an internal wall or near an addition. In Mooroolbark, these patterns can relate to subfloor support issues, site drainage changes, or differences between original stumps and newer work. The report helps you see whether the pattern is consistent with stable ageing or possible active movement.
Not always. Uneven floors can be long-standing and stable, particularly in older homes, but the pattern and severity matter. If the survey shows concentrated level changes, ongoing movement indicators, or a profile that aligns with significant cracking or structural concerns, an engineer may be the right next step. If the variation appears mild and consistent, monitoring and addressing contributing factors like drainage may be sufficient.
