PIG Mildew-Resistant Absorbent Sock | Water Absorbing Snake | 3" W x 4' L | Absorbs up to 1 gal per Sock | 12 Count | PIG105-BL

It’s a Hard Worker. Had a drain that was over flowing and put all 4 next to the drain. I saw some water pooling after the socks and thought that these did not work. After awhile went to lift up the socks to move and all 4 socks were 100% saturated with water. I can only image if the socks were not by the drain I would have had a flood . These socks did a fine job and glad I had purchased.

These were honestly a life saver when my furnace sprung a leak - used it to help contain it while we waited for the replacement and it saved my floors. Dried them out beautifully just by hanging and they are stored for any future emergencies. Great product!

I purchased these because we have a spare bathroom tub that was built in such as way that water will catch in spots and run along the side of the tub onto the floor. Because of the angles at which the tub and the tiled frame that holds the tub were built, it hasn't been possible to stop the run off with other, non absorbent physical barriers. Therefore, until we can arrange to have the tub pulled out and completely redone, using an absorbent barrier is the next best solution. These New Pig absorbent socks have been a very good product for this purpose. We place one along the area where the water pools and runs off and the sock picks up virtually 100% of the water. Then we wring out the sock and place it where it can dry out. The only downside we've found is that the socks do not dry out quickly - it takes several days out on our porch even in dry, non-humid weather for a sock to completely dry out. We bought a package of 12. We have 7 of them in use on a rotating, daily basis. There are usually 2-3 dry ones available at any time. I have also tried placing the absorbent socks in the dryer for a short period of time (15-30 minutes) on delicate or just on air dry. Usually I do this when they are almost dry, to get out the final bit of moisture. So far the socks have held up to limited drying in this manner, but I'm not sure it would be good to dry them this way on high or for long periods of time - I haven't tried it. I find it helps to wring the sock out after each use and to massage the wet portions to loosen up the absorbent filling inside the sock so it dries more readily. I would have given 4.5 stars if I could, and if the socks dried out faster I would give them 5 stars. My husband and I have been using these for a few months now on a rotating basis for daily showers (each one has probably been used at least a dozen times) and they are all still in good condition - no tears, mildew, discoloration, or funky odors. Other absorbent socks we've tried had one or more of those problems.

I use this for my walk in shower to keep water off the floor Work very well for us

These are very absorbent they saved my basement in the sewer backed up after I was finished I rang them out rinse them and hung them up to drive to use them again.

Works well

When it rains hard the water runs under my fence into the yard below mine. Putting in a drainage system was not something I could afford. I see absorbent snakes along road construction sites that seemed to work and these are affordable, so I figured I would give them a try. A few weeks ago we had a lot of rain and these socks worked. I tucked them under my fence on both sides. If they don't dry out, I will just replace them. They are lightweight and easy to manipulate.

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.
