Use a search engine online and enter the term, crawl space. That will direct you to a professional company that specializes in crawl spaces. You have 2 problems. Let's discuss the crawl space first. Water can not be stopped. It can be diverted properly so it does not end up pn the top of your crawl space. Waterproofing a crawl space is done from inside the crawl space. Trenching around the perimeter, installing 4 inch perforated drain tile. Connecting the drain tile system to a sump pit and a sump pump which will the eject the water properly to the outside thus eliminating your problem. Your yard is a total other aspect. A few suggestions: Your gutter down spouts should extend 6 feet away from your home and hopefully run down hill. If your yard has a lot of standing water you will need to make the area nearest your house the high ground so the water can run down hill using gravity so the water can puddle up as far from your house as possible.

Should cold water piping be in a crawl space or put in the walls?

Any water lines in a crawl space that don't have insulated walls should be insulated unless you live in climates that temperatures don't go below freezing (32F). I recommend that you use all the inside walls as much as possible for your water lines. You can also insulate your crawl space walls then you shouldn't have a problem on your non insulated water pipes as long as your crawl space is below your frost line. In colder climates its against code to plumb water lines in exterior walls.
