Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take multiple readings across living areas, hallways, bedrooms and high-traffic paths to create a clear map of level variation, helping you see exactly where unevenness starts and how it tracks through the home.
Wantirna properties often have rear family-room additions or reworked layouts. We measure level changes across join lines and thresholds to identify step-downs, slopes or differential movement between the original house and added sections.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens can be hotspots for moisture-related movement. We focus readings around these rooms and adjacent corridors to highlight dips or gradients that may align with past leaks, shower failures or subfloor dampness.
Where access allows, we note the likely floor construction (timber bearers/joists or slab) and interpret the measurements accordingly, including patterns consistent with stump settlement, bearer deflection, or slab heave/edge movement.
We use consistent internal reference points so measurements can be compared over time. This helps homeowners and buyers track whether a floor is stable or changing, particularly after drainage work, restumping, or renovations.
You receive a structured summary of key findings, measurement tables and a straightforward explanation of what the results may indicate, plus guidance on when to seek engineering advice or obtain repair quotes based on the measured variation.

Many Wantirna brick veneer homes, particularly older family houses that have been renovated over the years, can show some floor variation. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the extent and pattern of unevenness across the rooms. The pattern matters: gradual slopes, isolated dips, or sharp changes at extension junctions can point to different causes. The report helps you decide if further investigation (like an engineer) is warranted.
Yes, in most cases we can still take reliable readings over common floor coverings in Wantirna homes. Thick underlay or heavily cushioned carpet can slightly affect feel underfoot, but the digital readings provide consistent measurements across the property. For tiles and floating floors, we focus on stable points and take multiple readings to confirm trends. If access or a surface limits accuracy, we’ll explain that in the report.
A general building inspection looks broadly at the condition of the home, while a Digital Floor Level Survey focuses on measuring floor level variation with precision. In Wantirna, this is useful where you suspect movement, stump settlement, or issues around an extension. The survey provides mapped readings and interprets movement patterns. It’s often used to support quotes, engineering advice, or negotiation, rather than general defect listing.
If the property shows signs like doors sticking, cracked plaster at corners, or noticeable slopes between rooms, a survey can be a smart step before you commit. Parts of Wantirna include homes that have been extended or reconfigured, which can create level changes at junctions. A digital survey gives you measurable evidence to discuss with the agent, request further checks, or budget for rectification if needed.
Not automatically. Some level variation is common, especially in older homes, and the key is whether the readings show a consistent, stable pattern or a sharper change that suggests a specific issue. In Wantirna, results might relate to stump settlement, moisture influences, or movement between an original house and an addition. We explain what the measured pattern may indicate and what the sensible next step is.
