Narre Warren homes often sit on reactive clay and a mix of older stumps and newer slabs—small movements can show up as sloping floors, sticking doors, and cracking. A digital level survey pinpoints the movement pattern before you buy, renovate, or rectify.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take measured readings across accessible rooms, hallways and living zones to create a clear map of high and low points. This shows whether the slope is gradual, localised, or changing direction—useful for identifying likely structural drivers.
Extra readings are taken around bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and entry areas where leaks, wet areas and external run-off often impact subfloor moisture and slab edges. This helps connect level changes with likely moisture sources.
We note relevant symptoms seen during the survey—door latch alignment, window operation, skirting gaps, cracked cornices, and step cracks—then relate them to the measured floor profile so the findings make practical sense.
If there’s an accessible subfloor, we consider stump condition and spacing, bearer/joist lines and ventilation. For slab homes, we look for signs that the perimeter may be affected by water retention or changes in site levels.
The report provides a documented snapshot of floor levels at the time of inspection. This is useful in Narre Warren where seasonal soil changes can cause movement—future surveys can be compared to see if the pattern is stable or progressing.
You receive a structured report that highlights the main level variations, the most affected areas, and practical recommendations such as drainage review, plumbing leak investigation, or specialist assessment if the pattern warrants it.

They can. Many parts of Melbourne’s south-east, including Narre Warren, have reactive clays that shrink in dry periods and swell when wetter. On slab-on-ground homes, that movement can show up as heave near wetter zones or settlement near drier edges. A Digital Floor Level Survey maps the pattern so you can assess whether drainage, landscaping, or leaks may be contributing.
You’ll receive a report that summarises the measured level variations across accessible areas, highlights the most affected rooms, and explains what the pattern suggests. We include practical recommendations, such as checking stormwater discharge points, investigating wet areas for leaks, or seeking engineering advice if the movement pattern indicates a structural concern for the property.
Yes. Many older Narre Warren homes and renovated properties still sit on stumps. We take digital readings through the living areas to map dips and rises, then relate them to likely causes such as stump settlement, subfloor moisture, or bearer/joist lines. If the subfloor is accessible, we add context by noting visible support conditions and ventilation.
It can. Properties closer to drainage reserves or low points may experience wetter ground conditions after heavy rain, and that can influence soil moisture around footings or subfloors. The survey won’t replace a drainage assessment, but it can show whether floor levels slope in a way that aligns with moisture-related movement and whether further investigation is sensible.
Clear access to main rooms and hallways, and move small rugs or obstacles where possible so readings can be taken consistently. If you have a subfloor hatch, make sure it’s accessible. Let us know about any recent plumbing work, stormwater issues, or renovations, as that context helps interpret floor level patterns accurately.
