The main problem is my electric and water and telephone line come right to the front corner of the house which is where most of the water gets under the house. I'm afraid if I dig down too far then these will be exposed. I'm not so worried about the electric and telephone lines but my water line freezing in the winter. Any ideas would be appreciated. Oh by the way the frost line here is about 18 inches which is about how deep these lines are. greg may the problem I have is similiar to the one david flott has but I was thinking of having a retaing wall in front of the house where there is dropoff sloped down about 2 1/2 ft.

My lot slopes toward the front of my house, causing my porch to flood. I have trenched a small area in front of the house, but am afraid that this may cause the water to seep under the slab.
