A backplate for installation between a utility box and an exterior surface of a building has a plate body having a first side and a second side. A moisture dam on the plate body extends outward from the first side of the plate body. The moisture dam defines a receptacle that is sized and shaped to receive the utility box such that when the plate body is installed between the utility box and the exterior surface of the building. The moisture dam receives and extends around an outer perimeter of a rear surface of the utility box. Apertures through the plate body receive one or more utility lines and for receiving a mounting system. There are one or more seals on the second side of the plate body for sealing between the apertures and an outer perimeter of the plate body.

The combination of claim 1, wherein the sloped upper surface slopes downward away from the plate body. 3. The combination of claim 1, wherein the moisture dam further comprises a sloped bottom surface that slopes downward away from the plate body. 4. The combination of claim 1, wherein the moisture dam defines a channel, and the sloped upper surface slopes continuously downward from a center point of the sloped upper surface toward an outer edge of the plate body. 5. The combination of claim 4, wherein the moisture dam comprises a second edge that is perpendicular to the sloped upper surface, the second edge comprising a sloped surface that slopes continuously from a center point of the second edge toward the sloped upper surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface extending below the utility box. 6. The combination of claim 1, wherein the moisture dam comprises a peripheral flange carried by the plate body and a frame that is removably mounted to the peripheral flange. 7. The combination of claim 6, wherein the frame, the peripheral flange and the plate body define a U-shaped channel around the outer perimeter of the utility box when the frame is mounted to the peripheral flange. 8. The combination of claim 7, wherein the underlying portion of the plate body is spaced outward relative to the outer portion in the direction of the peripheral flange such that the utility box is spaced from the exterior surface of the building. 9. The combination of claim 7, wherein the U-shaped channel is sized to receive siding installed on the exterior surface of the building. 10. The combination of claim 1, further comprising a seal that extends around a plurality of the apertures. 11. The combination of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of seals that extend around each aperture. 12. The combination of claim 1, wherein the moisture dam extends completely around the outer perimeter of the rear surface of the utility box. 13. The combination of claim 1, further comprising one or more seals on the second side of the plate body for sealing between the apertures and an outer perimeter of the plate body. 14. In combination: a utility box having an outer perimeter surrounding a rear surface; anda backplate for installation at a utility penetration through an exterior surface of a building, the backplate comprising:a plate body having a flange extending perpendicularly from a first surface of the plate body, the flange defining a receptacle sized and shaped to receive the rear surface of the utility box, the plate body having an inner portion within the flange and an outer portion outside the flange; a removable frame that engages the flange, the removable frame having a flange-engaging portion and an outward extending portion, at least the outward extending portion, the flange engaging portion, and the plate body defining a U-shaped channel sized to receive siding installed on the exterior surface of the building, wherein, when the removable frame engages the flange, such that the removable frame extends around the outer perimeter surrounding the rear surface of the utility box; andat least one of the flange and the removable frame having a sloped surface that slopes downward toward an outer edge of the plate body. 15. The combination of claim 14, wherein the sloped surface comprises a central high point, the sloped surface sloping downward away from the central high point. 16. The combination of claim 14, further comprising a second sloped surface perpendicular to the sloped surface. 17. The combination of claim 14, wherein the inner portion of the plate body comprises apertures through the plate body for receiving one or more utility lines and for receiving a mounting system. 18. The combination of claim 17, wherein the apertures are formed by removing knockouts. 19. The combination of claim 14, wherein the inner portion of the plate body is spaced outward from the outer portion of the plate body in the direction of the flange.
