Is there a way to measure the water table level under my yard without

I'm trying to figure out if my damp crawlspace is caused by high water table
or some other reasons.

Are there any professionals who can do this? I don't know who to call. I
don't want to call just any crawlspace waterproofing contractors because
they are usually interested in selling a service than fully understanding
the problem.


Perhaps a well digger would know at least if the general area has high
or low water, but there are always exceptions. I don't think that is
going to solve your problem or give you the proper answer.

Soil type, climate, drainage also enter into this. Unless you live in
the Mojave, there is moisture in the ground that can affect your
crawlspace. Rather than calling a contractor, I'd do some
investigating as to what is normally done to correct the problem.
Perhaps just some ventilation and sheets of plastic over the soil will
be enough to keep it dry.
