Templestowe homes often sit on sloping blocks and reactive clay soils, and many are split-level or extended over time. A digital floor level survey helps confirm whether uneven floors are cosmetic or linked to foundation movement and drainage.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take precise readings across accessible areas of the home to create a floor height profile. This shows exactly where floors dip, rise or twist, which helps pinpoint whether the issue is localised (for example, one corner) or widespread.
The survey documents the direction floors fall and how much they vary across each space. This matters because consistent fall toward an external wall can align with drainage or footing issues, while isolated peaks may indicate past patching or altered framing.
Templestowe has many multi-level layouts. We record level changes across transitions, hallways and stair landings so you can see whether the floor profile matches the design or shows irregular movement between sections of the structure.
Where accessible, we note relevant indicators such as cracking patterns, door and window binding locations, and separation at skirtings. Linking measurements to observed symptoms helps you prioritise the right next step rather than guessing.
We consider site factors that commonly affect floor levels in the area, such as surface water run-off routes, garden beds against walls, downpipe discharge points and subfloor ventilation. These notes help explain why movement can be seasonal or progressive.
You receive a written summary of the measured floor profile and what it suggests. The reporting is designed to be practical for quotes and follow-up advice, including whether an engineer’s assessment may be warranted based on the pattern recorded.

They can. Many Templestowe homes are built into the slope with stepped footings, retaining walls or under-house areas. If drainage concentrates water on one side or soil moisture changes unevenly, parts of the structure can settle differently. A digital floor level survey measures the pattern and direction of any slope so you can judge whether it fits the design or suggests movement.
We take readings across accessible internal rooms and key transition points, such as hallways and near stair landings, to build a floor profile. We focus on areas where movement typically shows up first, including external wall lines and around wet areas where moisture can influence subfloors. We’ll also note any areas we can’t access so the limitations are clear.
The survey provides the floor level data that helps inform that decision, but it doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s design advice. If the readings show a pronounced or irregular movement pattern, it can support the case for further investigation. In some situations the issue is linked to drainage, ventilation or moisture management rather than major structural works.
It’s common for Templestowe homes to have extensions or reconfigured layouts, and different parts of a house may sit on different systems (for example, older timber framing vs newer slab areas). A digital floor level survey helps show how those sections relate to each other. It can highlight differential movement between original and added areas, which is useful when assessing cracking near junctions.
Yes. Even within the wider Ringwood region, site conditions can change from street to street. If the Templestowe property shows cracking, sticking doors, or visible floor slope, a digital survey provides hard measurements you can reference in negotiations and follow-up assessments. It’s also a practical baseline if you plan to renovate soon after settlement.
