Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital floor level readings across accessible areas to create a clear map of highs and lows, helping you pinpoint whether unevenness is isolated (e.g., one corner) or distributed through the home.
A fixed benchmark and repeatable measurement pattern reduce guesswork. This matters when you need to compare areas like hallways to bedrooms, or original sections to renovated parts of a Springvale home.
We focus readings around common movement junctions—such as where an original house meets a newer extension—so you can see if level changes align with structural joins or altered support conditions.
The report explains whether the level profile looks like edge movement, localised settlement, bearing issues, or differential movement between sections, so you understand what the numbers may indicate.
Where accessible, we correlate level results with visible indicators such as cracking at openings, gaps to skirting, and door or window binding, building a clearer picture of what’s driving the symptoms.
You receive a readable floor level plan and summary that can be shared with builders, underpinning contractors or engineers if further advice is needed, reducing back-and-forth and repeat site visits.

Springvale has a mix of older stumped houses, brick veneer builds and homes with later extensions. Floor movement can be subtle and gradual, especially where different construction eras meet or where moisture around the perimeter changes. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures variations precisely and maps them room by room, helping you understand whether the issue is localised, widespread, or concentrated around an extension junction.
You’ll receive a detailed floor level map showing relative highs and lows across the accessible areas measured, supported by notes that explain the pattern and what it may indicate. We also include relevant photos where helpful and clear recommendations on what to monitor. If the profile suggests significant movement, we’ll outline sensible next steps, such as drainage assessment, subfloor review, or seeking engineering advice.
We measure wherever access allows and it’s safe to do so. Built-in cabinetry, tight spaces, floor coverings, and moisture-sensitive areas can limit where readings can be taken, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. We still aim to capture a representative grid across the home and focus on key corridors and transition points. If certain areas can’t be measured, the report will note the limitations clearly.
They can. Extensions, enclosed verandas and reconfigured rooms often involve different footing types or construction methods compared to the original house. That change can create a “step” or gradual slope where the two sections meet, particularly if drainage or ground moisture differs around the addition. The survey focuses on these junctions with targeted readings so you can see whether the level profile aligns with the altered structure.
Clear access helps us take consistent readings. Move small furniture, rugs and clutter away from walls and hallways where possible, and ensure we can access the main rooms without obstacles. If you’re concerned about a specific area (for example, a door that sticks or a cracked tile line), point it out on arrival so we can include targeted measurements there. Pets should be secured for safety and uninterrupted testing.
