Drain Tile and Drainage Services in Sioux Falls, SD
Landscape drain tiles and drainage solutions are important parts of keeping water away from building foundations. Drain tile systems are installed to help flooded lawns remove excess water, while drainage systems lead that water away from the property, usually toward storm sewers. Since most municipalities have strict water discharge rules and regulations, licensed landscapers - like those found at Black Sheep Landscape - are required to handle permits and get the job done correctly.
Why Get Drainage Services?
Property owners benefit from drain tiles and drainage solutions for several reasons, primarily keeping structures safe. Here is a quick breakdown of why proper drainage services are important for your Sioux Falls, South Dakota, home or business:
Foundation Protection
When water pools around a building foundation, it seeps into cracks, then expands and contracts during the winter months, which causes cracks to worsen. This can lead to expensive structural problems. If the problem goes on long enough, it can lead to a building that is no longer safe for use. Pooling water also causes for basement flooding, which can lead to mold problems and other structural issues.
The best way to handle water pooling issues is to call Black Sheep Landscape so licensed drainage experts can dig a trench and lay pipe to push excess water from your property toward a storm sewer, the street, a dry well, detention or retention ponds, natural waterways, or other safe and regulated drainage areas.
Lawn and Landscape Protection
Landscapes and lawn features are an investment that often pays for itself when it comes to curbside appeal and home aesthetics. When water begins to pool around your property, it can endanger the health of your trees, bushes, flower beds, and even vegetable and herb gardens. Excess water can drown your plants and grasses, creating mushy, discolored lawns and rotting plants.
Protect your Sioux Falls residential or commercial property by calling Black Sheep Landscape for professional drain tile and excess water drainage solutions. It will help keep your lawn and landscape designs looking their best while also protecting your property.
Mosquito and Pest Prevention
Standing water is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, gnats, mold, and rodents. If you have a problem with flooding and you noticed you also have an issue with insects, mold, and rodents, it might be a simple fix. Landscape drainage solutions are available in the Sioux Falls, SD, area to help deter pests and fungi on and around your property.
Improve Property Value
When you want to sell your home or commercial property, inspections are legally required. Drainage problems are legally required to be disclosed to potential buyers, which gives them power to negotiate your selling price. Don't miss out on money when all you need to do is contact Black Sheep Landscape to professionally install drain tiles and drainage solutions for your Sioux Falls, South Dakota, property.
Prevent Soil Erosion
Soil erosion can happen when water strips away the topsoil. Once your property's soil begins to erode, you will notice an uneven yard, less fertile soil for your grass to grow in, sediment runoff when you water your lawn, and the formation of pot holes.
Soil erosion is preventable through professional landscape services — especially if the main problem on your property is due to water collection and lack of proper drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drain tile?
Drain tiles are pipes that are installed underground to collect any excess water. Water drains through small holes and is carried away from your home, building foundations, and lawn to a designated outlet.
What are the signs a property needs a drainage system?
Some signs you need a drainage system includes standing water that lingers several days after it rains, soggy areas of your lawn, waterlogged soil that drowns nearby plant life, a musty smell in your basement, or cracks developing in your foundation or driveway. If you're not sure whether any of the above are serious enough to require professional intervention, call Black Sheep Landscape for more information.
How long does a drain tile system last?
Professionally installed drain tile systems can last up to 50+ year, depending on the property's soil conditions, how well the system is maintained, and the quality of the materials that were used. Trust Black Sheep Landscape to use the best materials for your Sioux Falls, South Dakota, drain tile system installation.
Can I install drainage systems myself?
It is not advised for anyone but a licensed professional install a property drainage system. This is for several reasons, such as accidentally hitting underground utilities, not getting the right permits, using the wrong size pipes or miscalculating the correct angle of surrounding slopes. The list goes on and on. If you need a landscape drainage system installed, please call the licensed professional landscapers at Black Sheep Landscape. Too much can go wrong, so it is best to leave large jobs like drainage system installations to the professionals.
Do I have to maintain drain tile systems?
Drain tile systems only need to have their drains flushed with a hose every year or two to clear sediment and to have outlets inspected each season to clear them of debris. If you're not sure when your drain tile system was last inspected, call Black Sheep Landscape and we'll send someone out to take a look.
