Wantirna has a mix of older brick veneer homes and renovated extensions where movement can show up as uneven floors, sticking doors and cracking around openings. A digital floor level survey helps confirm whether those changes are cosmetic or linked to subfloor or footing movement.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured set of readings across accessible areas to create a clear map of high and low points. This shows whether the floor varies gradually, drops suddenly, or changes around specific walls, which helps narrow down likely causes.
Wantirna homes are commonly renovated. We note transitions between older footprints and additions (where accessible) and measure level differences across these junctions to identify differential movement that may need further investigation.
Kitchens, bathrooms and laundries can influence subfloor conditions over time. We prioritise measurement lines around these zones to see whether level changes radiate from wet areas, supporting evidence-based follow-up for plumbing, waterproofing or ventilation concerns.
Long corridors and doorway thresholds often reveal movement patterns that are hard to spot visually. We measure along these runs to show how level changes affect daily function, such as sticking doors or uneven transitions.
Alongside measurements, we record relevant observations such as cracking at corners, gaps at skirting, or uneven tile lines. These notes help link the digital results to real-world symptoms and guide sensible next steps.
Your report explains what was measured, where the main variations occur, and which areas warrant monitoring. Where appropriate, we outline when to seek specialist advice (such as a structural engineer) based on the pattern and extent of level change.

We measure floor levels across accessible rooms using digital equipment and create a clear map of high and low points. In Wantirna, we pay close attention to transitions between original areas and extensions, plus readings around wet areas and hallways. You receive a practical report summarising where level variations occur, the likely movement pattern, and sensible next steps for monitoring or further investigation.
It identifies the pattern and location of level variation, which is often the missing piece when you’re trying to work out what’s going on. While it doesn’t replace an engineering diagnosis, it can strongly indicate whether movement is localised or widespread and whether it aligns with wet areas, additions, or specific zones. We also note visible indicators that support appropriate follow-up.
Clear access helps. If possible, move small items off the floor near walls and in hallways, and ensure we can access the main rooms being assessed. Try to keep doors unlocked so we can measure consistently across the home. If there are rugs or mats that conceal thresholds, lifting them can help us capture cleaner readings at transitions and along common walking lines.
They can be. Many Wantirna homes have had additions, reconfigured layouts or new bathrooms added at different times, and those sections may sit on different subfloor structures or footings. Even when work is done well, slight differences can develop as materials settle and loads change. A digital floor level survey helps quantify any mismatch and shows whether it’s stable or suggests further investigation.
Yes. Changes to landscaping, blocked stormwater lines, or poor surface falls can send water toward the subfloor, and wet areas can contribute to long-term moisture issues if leaks or ventilation problems exist. Over time, moisture can affect ground conditions and some timber subfloors. Our measurements help reveal whether level changes align with these higher-risk zones so you can prioritise the right checks.
