Plumber’s Mate are absorbent pads that can be used for a variety of reasons, temporarily preventing small leaks from damaging surrounding areas or during a repair process. Eliminates the need for buckets and towels to hold water. Each pad will quickly absorb up to a quart of water and retain that water without drips. Great for spreading out under a slow leak or before a plumbing repair is started. Also great for use in the garage for automotive leaks of all kinds. Convenient – throw away after use. Use anywhere leaks are occurring or spills are possible – sink, faucet, toilet, drain, water heater. Not intended for use around children or animals.
