We put pipe socks on every outfall at our facility after an inspector flagged oil sheen at our discharge point. Problem solved — next inspection was clean. Easy to install and the replacement schedule is straightforward.

Expert Insights
Pipe socks are a simple but highly effective passive filtration solution for stormwater compliance. Inserted into drain pipe openings, they capture oil sheen and sediment from stormwater runoff before it enters receiving waterways.
Unlike active treatment systems that require monitoring and maintenance, pipe socks work 24/7 with zero energy input. Simply inspect periodically and replace when saturated. They are essential components of NPDES stormwater permits and SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans).
Pro Tip: Stock replacement pipe socks so you can swap them immediately during inspections or after heavy rain events.

Why Pipe Socks Are Essential
Regulatory inspectors commonly monitor stormwater at discharge outfall points — if oil sheen or excessive sediment is detected at your pipe outfall, it can trigger an enforcement action regardless of upstream controls. Pipe Socks provide end-of-pipe treatment that captures hydrocarbons and sediment before stormwater exits your facility boundary. A proven BMP that satisfies SWPPP and NPDES permit requirements.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

-
Great product for the price. Fits our 12-inch outfall pipes perfectly and the drawstring keeps it secured even during heavy flow events. We keep spare socks on hand and swap them out quarterly — simple and effective stormwater BMP.
-
Our municipality requires outfall monitoring and we were consistently failing for oil and grease. Since installing pipe socks on all our discharge points, every sample has been clean. The inspector actually asked where we bought them so he could recommend them to other facilities.
