Identifying Foundation Issues Before They Escalate.

Over time, even the most carefully built structures can experience foundation movement. Uneven floors, cracks in walls, or doors that no longer close properly are often early warning signs. A Floor Level Survey from Sandia Geotechnical Services (Sandia GEO) provides the precise data you need to understand what’s happening beneath your property — and whether corrective action is necessary.

Why Floor Level Surveys Matter. 

No flooring system is ever perfectly level, but significant shifts can indicate underlying soil or foundation issues. By measuring subtle elevation differences and mapping movement patterns, our surveys help engineers and property owners. 

• Detect early signs of foundation movement 

• Identify soil-related issues before they worsen 

• Avoid unnecessary or overly aggressive repairs 

• Protect the long-term stability of the structure

Our Process

1. Initial Assessment – A visual inspection to identify visible signs of movement or distress. 

2. Precision Measurement – Using a manometer, we measure elevation differences across the structure with accuracy to within 0.10 inches. 

3. Data Analysis – We create a topographic map of floor elevations to reveal movement patterns and potential problem areas.

4. Clear Reporting – Depending on your needs, we provide either a verbal explanation or a detailed written report with findings and recommendations.
