Silt Saver

What Silt Saver does

Silt Saver Inc. is a Covington, Georgia-based manufacturer of performance-based erosion and sediment control products, founded in 1999 by Roger Singleton. The company's core technology centers on durable, reusable polyethylene frame and replaceable filter assemblies that protect drop inlets, curb inlets, and other stormwater openings from construction-site sediment and debris, supplemented by a Belted Silt Retention Fence (BSRF™) line, a patented Woven Belted Silt Fence (WBSF™) line, wattles and ditch checks, and specialty bags for dewatering, slope drains, and under-grate applications. Its intellectual property is anchored by US Patent 11,708,690 covering the Round Base Frame & Filter Assembly, and products are specified and approved as equivalent BMPs by agencies including GDOT and GSWCC, with documented two-stage filtration exceeding 96% sediment removal efficiency and overflow capacities above 1,000 gpm/ft².

Silt Saver sells physical hardware through a mix of knowledgeable regional distributors and direct sales, targeting construction contractors performing land-disturbing work, professional engineers and environmental consultants who specify BMPs on site plans, and municipal/government stormwater buyers. The recurring revenue mechanic is driven by the reusable frame + replaceable filter architecture, where frames are sold once and replacement filters are purchased over the life of the installed base; this is reinforced by customer testimonials indicating continuous use of original frames for 25+ years. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with transactions routed through distributor relationships or direct contact ([email protected], 770.388.7818).

In May 2025, Silt Saver was acquired by MKB Company, an erosion control products platform backed by private equity firm Align Capital Partners, which partnered with MKB in November 2024. Post-acquisition, Silt Saver continues to operate under its brand within the MKB portfolio, with access to MKB's national distribution footprint serving national, regional, and local distribution partners across the United States. Leadership continuity is maintained with founder Roger Singleton, co-founder Stephanie Singleton, and Keith Potter in operating roles.

Core offering

Silt Saver Inc. manufactures and sells patented performance-based erosion and sediment control (ESC) products used on construction sites and stormwater infrastructure projects. Its core offering is a family of modular, reusable inlet protection frames (Round, Square, Rectangle, Low Profile, Landscape/Yard) with replaceable filter media, complemented by woven belted silt fence systems (WBSF/BSRF), wattles, ditch checks, curb inlet filters, dewatering bags, and pipe stoppers. Products are engineered to meet EPA, NPDES, and Clean Water Act compliance requirements for developers, general contractors, engineers, and municipalities.

Product overview

Silt Saver is an American producer of performance-based erosion and sediment control products founded in 1999. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of sediment control solutions organized into four main product categories: Inlet Protection (Frame and Filter Assemblies in Round, Square, Rectangle, and Low Profile configurations with replaceable filters), Silt Fence and Barrier Fence products (including Belted Silt Retention Fence and Woven Belted Silt Fence lines), Wattles and Check Dams (for hydraulic energy reduction and sediment filtration), and Replacement Filters (for reusability cost savings). Additional innovative products include Dewatering Pump Bags and Slope Drain Bags. The product line is distinguished by three core principles: structural integrity, controlled stormwater release, and sediment retention. The company was acquired by MKB Company in May 2025.
