Core Products

• Quick Dam Flood Bags: These are standard 12 x 24 inch (or jumbo 1 x 4 ft) bags that absorb water and grow to 3.5 inches high in minutes. They can be stacked in a brick formation to create a higher protective wall and can last for several months.
• Quick Dam Flood Barriers: These are longer, tube-shaped barriers available in various lengths, such as 5ft, 10ft, and 17ft. They have a built-in wedge to prevent rolling and are ideal for laying across driveways, in front of garage doors, or other entry points.
• Quick Dam Water Curbs: These are larger, more robust barriers for greater water control and diversion, available in different sizes like 6.5 x 20 inches and 10 inches x 20 feet.
• Quick Dam Water Dams: These are designed for indoor use to stop water from coming under doors or to encircle leaking appliances.

Available Kits

Quick Dam also offers convenient kits for emergency preparedness, typically packed in high-visibility orange buckets for easy storage and quick deployment.

• Grab & Go Flood Kits: These popular kits combine various barriers and bags, offering comprehensive protection in one portable container. A common combo kit includes 5x 5ft barriers and 10x 2ft bags, providing up to 50ft of total coverage.
• Indoor Leak Kits: These smaller kits are designed to manage internal water issues, such as appliance overflows, and often include absorbent mats and water dams.
• Emergency Flood Pump Kits: For more severe situations, these kits include a portable puddle pump, a 50ft lay-flat hose, and a selection of flood barriers/dams, all in a heavy-duty crate.

Key Features

• Water-Activated: The products are lightweight when dry and activate on contact with fresh water, swelling to full size within minutes.
• Sandless: No need for sand or the intense labour involved in filling traditional sandbags.
• Reusable (for a season): They can be left in place for months of ongoing protection and will shrink as water evaporates, re-swelling when re-exposed to water.
• Environmentally Friendly: The inner absorbent powder is safe, non-hazardous, non-toxic, and naturally degrades over time.
• Not for Salt Water: A chemical reaction with salt water causes the product to deflate, so they should only be used with fresh water
