New Pig Mildew-Resistant Absorbent Sock | Water Absorbing Snake | 3" x 48" | 1-Gal Absorbency | Pack of 12 | PIG105-BL

Completely AMAZING! I have a washer/dryer unit, and the washer needs repairs that will exceed the cost of replacement and leaks a small amount of water during the spin cycle. I'm not in a position to replace it yet, and the Pig Absorbent Sock works wonders at preventing water intrusion and will ultimately stop concrete erosion. It will buy me some time, and I'm grateful that I stumbled upon this product.

These do a great job soaking up spills and water sealing into the basement. They protected our finished area from flood.

Very good

Used these during a nasty thunderstorm inside my garage door. Forgot I had these until I saw the water inside my garage- worked perfectly to wick up all the water during and after the storm. Going to let them dry out before the next round of storms today.

Helps to keep water out of my garage. I have tried other brands but these helped to keep the garage dry.

If you have water issue, these are for you. I put mine around my whole house water filter, my water heater, under the sink and in front of my garage. They work so well to soak up water and they are there if there is a leak. I also had a small flood in my basement after a hard rain while ground was still frozen. I use these to contain the water and soak it up. They put my mind at ease.

I’m kind of on the fence with these. The tubes definitely do what they say as far as absorbency. I have a basement that has some water coming in during very heavy rain or a heavy snow melt. Thus is probably 4-5 times in 15 years. This year I decided to be proactive and try to use something to absorb the water and buy me some time before water started pooling. My issue is that they need to be wrung out and air dried. They are quite heavy if you’re dealing with 10-20 wet tubes . Also, you need a place to toss them before you get to ringing them out and finding a place to air dry them. The drying time takes forever ( many days to a week) so using them again during the same incident is not an option. I found that towels worked just as well for the smaller volume areas as I could put them on rinse in the washer and then dry in the clothes dryer and keep rotating them. I feel that tending to the absorbent socks just adds to an already taxing situation. I think for a room with just a few slow seepage spots needing maybe 3-4 tubes - these would be great and manageable For my needs they added so much more work. If they could go in the dryer it would make all of the difference for me. So yes they work in certain conditions.

These helped save the stuff in my basement when the subpump stopped working.
