Murrumbeena homes often mix older timber floors with renovated extensions—our digital level mapping shows whether “bounce” and cracks are normal ageing or active foundation movement.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple digital readings across main living areas, bedrooms, hallways and transition points to build a clear map of floor fall. This helps identify whether the slope is localised (often linked to a specific support issue) or consistent across the home.
Where an original home joins a newer extension, small level differences can indicate differential movement or imperfect tie-in. We measure around doorways, thresholds and open-plan joins to confirm whether the change is within tolerance or a red flag.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens can contribute to subfloor moisture and localised settlement if leaks have occurred. We focus level readings around wet area perimeters and adjacent rooms to see if falls suggest a long-term moisture-related issue.
If the floor feels springy, we measure nearby level variations and note the extent of the affected zone. This helps point you towards likely causes such as undersized bearers/joists, degraded supports, or subfloor changes after renovations.
We link measured level changes to on-site observations such as wall cracking patterns, door clearance issues and skirting gaps. That correlation is useful when you’re deciding whether repairs are cosmetic, maintenance-related, or structural.
Your report summarises level changes in plain language and flags areas to monitor. Where appropriate, we recommend practical next steps such as further structural assessment, drainage checks, or re-levelling investigations rather than guessing.

If the home has timber floors, older stumps, or signs like sloping hallways, bouncy boards, or doors that rub, a Digital Floor Level Survey is worth it. In Murrumbeena, many properties have been renovated over time, so the survey helps confirm whether unevenness is isolated to an extension or indicates broader support movement that may need re-levelling.
It measures relative floor heights across the home using digital equipment, showing how much the floor rises or falls between points. The results can reveal patterns consistent with settlement, stump issues, or movement near wet areas. It doesn’t diagnose every cause on its own, but it provides hard data that guides the right next steps.
Not always. Older homes can have minor level variation from age, past repairs, or original construction tolerances. The value of a digital survey is that it quantifies the variation and shows the pattern. Sudden changes, concentrated dips, or movement aligned with cracking and sticking doors are more concerning than gentle, consistent fall.
Rear extensions can sit on different footings or a newer slab while the original home remains on timber stumps, so the two sections can move differently over time. That often shows up as a step, slope, or cracking near the join. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the transition precisely, which helps you decide if it’s normal differential settlement or something needing rectification.
Yes, in most cases. We take readings from accessible areas and work around furniture where practical. Carpet can slightly limit direct floor surface access, but we can still collect useful relative measurements across rooms and key junctions. If access is restricted, we’ll note the limitations in the report and focus on the most informative measurement points.
