Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take consistent measurements across accessible rooms to map rises and falls in the floor plane. This helps distinguish a single dip in one area from a wider slope that can indicate broader subfloor or foundation movement.
We document which way the floor is leaning (for example, towards the rear, side boundary, or a central line). Directional patterns matter because they can point to drainage influence, localised settlement, or differential movement between parts of the home.
We measure across thresholds between original rooms and extensions or renovated zones. In Nunawading, this is a common place for level changes that may relate to different footing types, construction periods, or altered load paths.
We pay close attention to readings near bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens where moisture events can affect subfloors or support points. The measurements help you prioritise whether further investigation is warranted.
We compare readings near external walls and internal lines to see whether movement is concentrated around the edges or through the middle. This can be useful when considering re-levelling, subfloor works, or renovation planning.
Your report explains the measured variation and what it may mean in plain language. Where results suggest higher risk, we note sensible follow-ups, such as a more detailed assessment of subfloor supports, drainage, or structural elements.

Yes. Timber floors can show springiness, slopes, or “dishing” that’s hard to judge by eye. A digital survey records precise level changes across rooms and along main walking lines. For many Nunawading weatherboards, this helps identify whether the issue looks like localised support movement (such as stumps or bearers) or a more general fall across the house footprint.
You’ll receive a detailed written report summarising where the floor is out of level, the direction of fall, and any notable patterns across the home. The aim is to translate measurements into practical meaning, so you can decide whether you need further investigation (for example, subfloor assessment, drainage checks, or structural advice) before buying or renovating.
Often, yes. When floors tilt or settle unevenly, it can put stress on wall linings and openings, leading to cracks and sticking doors. Digital readings help correlate what you’re seeing with measurable movement and show whether the issue is concentrated in one zone or spread across multiple rooms. That context is valuable when deciding between minor patching and addressing an underlying cause.
They can. Many Nunawading homes have had rear extensions, updated kitchens, or reconfigured living areas, and the newer work may sit on different footings or a different subfloor system. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures across those transitions to identify abrupt changes or progressive falls, helping you understand whether the “step” is simply construction tolerance or a sign of movement between building sections.
Where possible, ensure clear access to key rooms and walking paths so readings can be taken consistently. If there are heavy rugs, large furniture, or stored items blocking corners and doorways, moving them improves coverage. If the home has a subfloor access hatch, keeping it accessible can also help provide context for the readings, even though this service focuses on floor level measurement.
