Nunawading’s mix of older weatherboards, brick veneer homes and newer extensions can hide gradual floor movement from reactive soils, drainage changes and nearby trees—digital level mapping helps you see it early.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic readings across living areas, hallways and bedrooms to build a floor level profile. This shows whether the floor is generally out of level or if there are specific problem zones that may need targeted investigation.
Nunawading homes frequently have later extensions or renovated wet areas. We measure across junctions (for example, between the original house and a newer rear addition) to identify differential movement that can stress frames, plaster and waterproofing.
The survey highlights patterns such as corner drop, mid-span sag, edge heave or rotational movement. These patterns help narrow down possible causes, such as subfloor support settlement, slab edge movement, or moisture changes around the perimeter.
We place extra focus on thresholds, bathrooms, laundries and kitchens where movement can affect tile cracking, grout separation and door operation. The report flags level changes that may explain functional issues you can see during an inspection.
If a subfloor is accessible, we note visible contributors such as bearers/joists condition, packing, ventilation and signs of moisture. This helps connect measured level changes to what’s happening under the floor, rather than treating it as numbers only.
You receive a floor level summary, annotated findings and recommendations tailored to the observed pattern—such as monitoring points, drainage checks, plumber leak investigation, or when an engineer’s assessment is sensible.

It’s a smart step if you notice sloping floors, cracking that has changed over time, or an older home with later renovations. Nunawading has a mix of post-war dwellings and updated properties where original footings and newer works can behave differently. A digital floor level survey provides measured evidence of the floor profile, helping you decide whether to monitor, investigate drainage, or seek engineering advice.
It measures the relative height of the floor at multiple points throughout the home, referenced to a consistent datum. The results show how the floor changes from room to room, including any dips, humps or directional slope. This is different from a visual opinion—digital readings provide a measurable pattern that can be compared to typical tolerances and used as a baseline for future monitoring.
The survey shows the movement pattern clearly, which often points to the most likely contributors, but it doesn’t replace a full structural engineering diagnosis. We’ll note visible conditions that may relate to the readings, such as subfloor support issues, moisture signs, drainage concerns or transitions between old and new construction. If the pattern suggests significant movement, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next investigation.
Established trees and altered stormwater systems can change ground moisture around footings, especially when downpipes discharge poorly or garden beds are built up against walls. In parts of Nunawading with older gardens and renovated yards, this can contribute to seasonal soil movement and uneven settlement. A digital floor level survey helps detect whether level changes are localised near an exterior wall or more uniform across the home.
Yes. The report provides documented readings taken from consistent reference points, making it useful as a baseline for future re-checks. If you re-measure later, you can see whether levels have remained stable or shifted. This can support practical decisions like timing repairs, confirming whether drainage improvements have helped, or deciding if further professional input is needed.
