Floor Audit and Assessment: Prevent Costly Downtime in Your Facility
When it comes to running an efficient operation, your flooring plays a more critical role than you might expect. Hidden cracks, moisture damage, or surface failures can quickly lead to safety hazards, operational delays, and costly repairs. That’s why proactive floor audit and assessment services are essential for facilities that depend on safe, high-performance flooring. At Sydney Epoxy Flooring, we help businesses across Sydney uncover and fix floor-related risks before they disrupt operations. With thorough inspections and expert reporting, you’ll be equipped to act early and avoid expensive downtime.
What Is a Floor Audit and Assessment?
A floor audit is a detailed evaluation of your current flooring system. It identifies damage, surface issues, and potential risks such as subfloor moisture or insufficient load-bearing capacity. This service is ideal for warehouses, commercial kitchens, food processing plants, car parks, and cleanrooms. By examining both visible and hidden issues, the assessment helps determine if the floor is safe, durable, and suitable for ongoing use or future upgrades.
What’s Included in a Floor Audit?
✅ Surface Condition Review
The audit starts with a close inspection for cracks, joint separation, delamination, and surface erosion.
✅ Load-Bearing Analysis
We evaluate whether your floors can support machinery, forklifts, racking systems, and foot traffic without failing.
✅ Moisture Testing
Using Tramex digital meters and calcium chloride kits, we check subfloor moisture that can cause coatings to bubble or peel.
✅ Safety and Compliance Check
Slip hazards, trip zones, and structural defects are identified. In addition, we provide a full Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) in line with NSW OH&S requirements.
✅ Surface Compatibility Report
We assess your floor’s porosity, contamination levels, and adhesion strength to determine whether recoating or resurfacing is viable.
As a result, you receive a comprehensive report that highlights risks, outlines solutions, and supports long-term planning.
Why Regular Floor Audits Are Crucial
It’s easy to overlook your floor until something goes wrong. However, damage often builds up silently—until it leads to compliance failures, production shutdowns, or safety incidents. Consider a food-grade facility where unnoticed water ingress causes coating failure. Not only does production stop, but there’s also a risk of contamination. A routine audit could have prevented the disruption.
Key Benefits:
Spot early warning signs before they become major problems
Prevent accidents and improve worker safety
Avoid OH&S or council compliance fines

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule a floor audit?
Every 2–3 years is ideal, or sooner after floor damage, spills, or heavy usage changes.
Can a floor audit detect hidden moisture?
Yes. We use high-sensitivity moisture meters to uncover issues that could damage coatings over time.
Is this service suitable for newer floors too?
Absolutely. New floors benefit from testing before adding coatings, applying sealers, or putting them under full operational load.
Do I need to pause operations during the audit?
Not always. Most assessments are non-invasive and can be completed during business hours with minimal disruption.

Yes. Our team can provide floor grinding, waterproofing, recoating, and ongoing maintenance as needed.
