Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple readings across living areas, bedrooms, hallways and wet areas to build a clear profile of floor height changes. This matters because a single “spongy” spot can be misleading—mapping shows whether the issue is a local dip, a broader slope, or a ridge at an addition junction.
We focus on the points where older sections meet newer works (for example, original flooring into a rear family room or updated kitchen). These junctions often reveal differential settlement or construction changes, and the survey quantifies the step or slope so you can plan repairs, flooring, or further investigation confidently.
We note level patterns that commonly align with moisture entry or poor drainage influence, such as consistent low readings along an external wall or near a wet area. While the survey isn’t a leak test, the measured “shape” of the floor helps target where subfloor ventilation, drainage review, or plumbing checks may be worthwhile.
If the property has a subfloor and access is available, we relate level changes to likely structural contributors such as stump spacing, bearer lines and areas prone to movement. This helps distinguish between normal floor undulation in older homes and patterns more consistent with stump subsidence or localised support issues.
The report explains level variation in practical terms, highlighting areas that appear stable versus areas that warrant monitoring or trade assessment. This is important for Pascoe Vale South buyers and owners planning new flooring, cabinetry or wall removals, where even small variations can affect finish quality.
You receive documented readings referenced to a consistent datum so future checks can be compared like-for-like. This is valuable if you’re negotiating a purchase, planning rectification, or monitoring movement over time after restumping, drainage work, or structural adjustments.

Pascoe Vale South homes often combine older construction with newer renovations, and that mix can create unevenness where different foundations meet. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures height changes across key rooms and transition points so you can see the floor profile clearly. It’s particularly useful if you’ve noticed sloping floors, sticking doors, or you’re buying a home with an extension and want evidence-based clarity.
Your report documents measured floor levels referenced to a consistent datum, highlighting high and low points and the overall pattern of variation. You can use it to decide whether to monitor, seek a restumping assessment, or consult a builder/engineer. It’s also useful for planning flooring, cabinetry and internal fit-off, where level differences can affect finishes and installation tolerances.
No. A Digital Floor Level Survey is focused on measuring floor levels and interpreting the pattern of variation. A building inspection covers a broader range of structural and maintenance items. Many clients use a level survey alongside a building and pest inspection when there are signs of movement, an older subfloor system, or an extension where they want more certainty about how the floors are performing.
It can be very helpful. For weatherboard homes on stumps, the survey provides a clear baseline of where floors are low or out of level and whether the pattern follows bearer lines or specific zones. That information supports better scoping for restumping or subfloor repairs, and it gives you numbers you can compare after works are completed to confirm the outcome.
A single survey shows the current floor profile and whether the variation looks localised or widespread, but it can’t confirm activity on its own. If you suspect ongoing movement, a follow-up survey after a set period (or after drainage/structural works) allows comparisons to see if levels are changing. We can also flag patterns that commonly warrant monitoring or further assessment.
