Scoresby homes often mix concrete slabs, brick veneer builds and later extensions—small foundation movement can show up as sloping floors, tight doors and cracking where old meets new.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take systematic measurements across accessible rooms to identify the direction and degree of floor variation. This helps separate minor local unevenness from broader patterns that can point to foundation movement.
Where original construction meets an addition, we target readings across the join line. Level changes here can indicate differential movement between footings/slabs or inconsistent compaction under newer work.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are common places for moisture changes that can affect supporting soils and subfloors. We collect extra readings nearby to help identify localised drops, humps or rotation that may relate to leaks or long-term moisture.
Long runs like hallways and along external walls can reveal ‘dishing’ or edge movement. Tracking these lines can highlight drainage-related issues, reactive soil behaviour, or slab edge changes that aren’t obvious at a single point.
Your report presents the readings in a straightforward layout so you can see which areas differ and by how much. We note where patterns warrant further assessment by an engineer or additional inspection steps.
We relate the measured floor levels back to what you’re seeing—cracking, gaps at cornices, doors rubbing, or uneven flooring finishes—so you understand the likely cause and what to do next.

Yes. Many established Scoresby homes are brick veneer with slab-on-ground or subfloor systems, and they can show subtle movement over time. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey measures the floor surface across rooms and transition points, which helps you see whether cracking or sticking doors match a consistent slope pattern. If results suggest larger movement, we’ll recommend the right next step.
We measure accessible internal floor areas, focusing on main rooms, hallways, and key junctions where level changes often show up. We also take targeted readings near wet areas and where an extension connects to the original footprint. The aim is to build a reliable picture of how the floor plane changes across the home, not just a single spot check.
The survey provides accurate floor level data and highlights movement patterns that may warrant further advice. It doesn’t replace an engineering assessment, but it gives you the evidence needed to decide whether to escalate. If we see significant or unusual changes, we’ll explain what the readings suggest and which specialist (structural engineer, plumber, drainage expert) is most relevant.
They can. In Scoresby, it’s common to see updated kitchens, added living zones, or garage conversions. If the addition has different footing depth, slab thickness, or ground preparation, it can move differently to the original home. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey checks across those join points so you can identify differential settlement and understand whether the unevenness is isolated to the newer work.
Clear access to rooms you want measured by moving small furniture, rugs, and clutter off the floor where possible. Let us know about any recent plumbing issues, stormwater changes, or landscaping works, as these can help explain patterns in the readings. If you’ve noticed doors sticking or new cracks, point them out so we can prioritise those areas during measurement.
