Patented Water Activated Flood Barriers absorb, control, & divert flood water

Product Description

Protect your home or property in times of flooding with Quick Dam Flood Barriers. Quick Dams expand and activate on contact with water. Just lay them in place and let the water do the rest. Absorb contain and divert problem water away from your home and property, before it becomes a problem. Keep some on hand for emergency situations. Use around doorways, garages, leaking tanks, construction projects, anywhere water is a problem.

Protect Against:

  • Storm surges & water main breaks

  • Leaking equipment & water tanks
  • Broken sprinkler heads
  • A/C condensation overflow
  • Spills, leaks, floods, drips & more

Water Activated Flood Barriers

  • Just get them wet
  • Grows to a full size of 3.5in high in 10 minutes
  • Contains a super absorbent powder that swells and gels water
  • Swelled barriers contain, control, and divert flood water
  • No need for sand or labor filling product
  • Available in 5ft, 10ft, or 17ft lengths
  • Absorbs 4 gallons, 8 gallons & 13.5 gallons of water respectively

How to Use

  • Place the Barriers in the path of oncoming flood water.
  • As they come in contact with water, it will absorb through material & start to swell.
  • Barriers reach their full height of 3.5in in 10 mins if enough water is present.
  • If a rush of water is expected or you need to stack them, pre-soaking them is recommended.
  • Not for use with Salt water.

* Place wider section of Barrier towards water, as the smaller section (wedge) prevents it from rolling. **DO NOT want water moving in this direction causing seepage in between the Barriers.

Tips & Tricks

  • During first activation, we recommend checking on them to make sure they are directing water as desired. Adjustments may be necessary as landscaping can alter water flow.
  • Barriers should be stacked higher than water level for stability and to prevent them from floating away.
  • Barriers are flexible and can be curved or wrapped.
  • Barriers have a dual chamber, place wider edge towards water & smaller wedge away from water to prevent rolling out of position.
  • Pre-Soaking is recommended prior to stacking or if heavy rain or water flow is expected.
  • Staining may occur in instances where the surface is porous or unfinished cement is present. Remove from area when no longer needed.
  • Porous surfaces like unfinished cement cause excessive seepage, since they are both trying to absorb water. Plastic barrier film in between, may help.
  • For use in the winter/snow months, make sure they are fully activated before freezing temperatures occur to assure maximum protection when the snow is melting. We do not recommend moving them while frozen to prevent any tearing of the outer material. Also, salt on the roads should not come in contact with Quick Dams. To help, pre-activate Quick Dams with water & then wrap plastic under & over the top to prevent the salt from making contact.
  • Do NOT use around salt water, lime or calcium. These will cause the inner absorbent to release the water & deflate the product making it useless.
  • Flood Barriers will not fully activate unless enough water is present.
  • Once activated by water they can be used as a barrier against other oils & chemicals.
  • Leave in place for 3-6 months of ongoing protection. Shrinking will occur as they dry out, but they will swell again once re-exposed to water.
  • Length of time to dry out varies on climate. Average is about 3 months as higher humidity levels tend to take longer.
  • Once completely dry, they will feel crunchy and ready for reactivation. Smooth the contents to evenly distribute the super absorbent polymers.
  • Direct sunlight causes the product to degrade at a rapid pace, which will result in the product feeling slimy.
  • Do NOT cut. The inner contents will be exposed and will make the product unusable.

Storage & Shelf Life

  • Barriers unused, have a 5+ year shelf life.
  • Store in sealed bag for maximum term.
  • Keep on hand for immediate deployment.

How to Dispose

  • Throw away in trash.
  • Quick Dams are safe:
    • Pet friendly
    • Non-toxic
    • Environmentally safe.
  • Optional- great soil additive to help retain moisture- cut open & spread/ blend contents on lawn or garden (NOTE- will be VERY slippery until it degrades & disappears)

Still absorbed water after 5 years!!
Purchased 02/2019 Reviewed 03/2024. This is a durability & performance review. I bought some Quick Dam products back in 2019 because I was looking for water containment products due to either heavy rain or possible burst pipes or plumbing problems. I used two of the 6ft long tubes during a heavy rain storm. I then laid the tubes out on my backyard patio in full sun afterwards when they were fully expanded & after several days they were dried out. Instead of throwing them away, I just put them in the garage on the floor out of the way.What's the saying, Out of Sight = Out of Mind? Well, they were forgotten!Enter tropical storm Hilary = Our area was to receive a tropical storm, something that has never happened during my 60+ year residency in this area. News channels were telling us to prepare & showing people filling up sand bags -- A light bulb moment went off in my head, Would those tubes still work? I had one area of my house, an enclosed patio with a sliding door that always seem to collect water during downpours because my ground (soil) is so hard where I live that it takes a while for water to be absorbed into the ground.In previous rains, I'd been ok - water would build up & then absorb into ground - but those were rains where the downpour would be on & off during the day - this projected storm would be extremely heavy rain. It was heavy, water came down in sheets non-stop for hours & hours! I had taken the tubes out of the garage & put one of the tubes in front of the slider - as you can see in the picture taken after the storm - it swelled up & still worked after 5 years -- it says on the product bag the item can be reused for months - but this sat in a garage where the temperature during the summer is over 100 degrees, and it still worked & did not completely degrade & dry out.I have recently purchased some more of these so I will be prepared again; if I had any doubts about this product working, after performing during Hilary, they are gone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great price, does the job.
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024
These were very easy to use. They start out very light and folded up. You just unroll them in the spot you want and after 3-5 minutes, they puff up and immediately redirects the water. You can move them around after they puff up too. They definitely saved my house from pools of water around the edges. Only negative is that some of the little beads(?) leaked out of some of the barriers. Not sure if they're toxic or not. Also, I'm not sure if they will shrink back to their original flat size. It's been about 4 days and they're still bloated. I'm going to move them to a sunnier part of the yard to see if they will shrink faster.
