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

Does the job well. I have some low points in my garage floor that are in unfortunate locations. The winter causes the water spots to freeze making for some dangerous walking conditions. I used these socks to block the water from flowing into the low points and it’s working out very well. The 12 pack is worth it and the best value. I already placed 6 in and around my car and things like the snowblower where water might drip off and pool. Except right where the car sits, the garage floor is dry now. They seem durable, but the material is thin but it has to be for water to get inside to be absorbed.

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.

These worked great! I didn’t wash them so unsure how washing affects them. Soaked up everything!

These work - I had a leak along one basement wall after an excessive amount of rain fell - and I bought a 4 pack of these to soak it up (towels were not cutting it). I just set them down on the basement floor right along the wall. They worked great at sucking up the water, getting it out was more challenging. I squeezed the water out as best as I could, tied a shoestring around one end, and hung it from a hook in the basement ceiling over a large bin (the large bin is necessary, trust me, water is going to drip out). It took a long time for the water to come out - you have to continue to squeeze it out as it drains to the one end. After 3 days hanging out to dry, they still weren't dry. I bought a large box of these so that I would have backup while one batch was drying. And after that one episode of leaking, I haven't had another one (knock on wood), so I can't verify how many times you can reuse these. I still have them in place along the baseboard just in case- but they are dry. I also bought the sheets of this stuff to dry up the puddles from the initial leak - they work awesome, and dry really quickly after you wring them out. I use those on the floormats of the car, on the boot tray in the house - there are many places where you need to suck up excess water!

The New Pig Mildew-Resistant Absorbent Sock is an absolute lifesaver! I recently used it to tackle some water issues surrounding my home, and it performed brilliantly. The absorbent sock is incredibly effective at soaking up water, with a 1-gallon absorbency capacity that makes it perfect for dealing with leaks, spills, and damp areas. What I love most is that it’s mildew-resistant, so I don’t have to worry about any unpleasant odors or mold developing over time. The 3" x 48" size is just right for placing along walls or around equipment, and it’s flexible enough to fit into tight spaces. It’s also reusable, which adds to its value. This is a must-have for anyone looking to protect their home or workspace from water damage. Highly recommend!

My upstairs neighbor's screened in balcony leaks water into my enclosed sunroom when the rain is directed toward our building. Until this is fixed (a contractor will be sealing her concrete floor as soon as my neighbor comes back to supervise the installation...she lives out of state). In the meantime, when it rains my sunroom floods (sometimes more than others depending on the amount of rain). The sunroom is tiled but it opens into my living room which has wood floors, so any water that reaches them does a lot of damage. So, until it's fixed I have been using the Absorbent Sock/Water Absorbing Snake to absorb the water. Today, it rained pretty hard and the sunroom was flooded in a few places but these snakes absorbed the water, so no damage was done to the wood floors. Considering how much it would cost to have the hardwood floors fixed or replaced, these are a bargain. I haven't tried to dry them yet and understand that can take awhile and that they won't last too long but they worked well and I will order more if needed.

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.
