THESE WORK!

Six weeks ago our backyard flooded and the water came pouring into the house through the closed, sliding glass doors. We bought Quick Dams in case it ever happened again. When Tropical Storm Rosa was moving our way we put the Quick Dams out and pre-soaked them the day before the storm was scheduled to arrive. THEY WORKED. This picture is of our back yard last night. We did not have one drop of water get past the Quick Dams and into the house. I just bought ten more. I will always have these on hand.

Just a great item . . .

We have a leak from one part of the basement under the flooring into the next part . . .Well, I'll tell you what . . .if it wasn't for this gadget not only holding back the constant every hour etyc . . .towel changing or wet-dry vac cleanup . . .I would be down there as I said . . .changing towels every hour or less ...using the wet-dry vac just to keep it somewhat at bay . . .In the pic, you can't see it, but . . .on the shorter end of the length where it curves . . .it's now running directly into the sump pump! PRAISE GOD!

Must have

This is a great product. I had three and used them all. Water creeps inside along the driveway during rain over a period of many days.. This along the wall will take care of this for about a year. It really works. These are reorders. Always have them on hand to create a water barrier anywhere. In my photo you see two of these. I used one a few weeks ago when my washer leaked I created a dam to keep the water spreading all over the basement. Afterwards I took the snake outside and placed it on the wall where i had one already. This is a vulnerable spot on my house the builders stupidly sloped the driveway slightly toward the house so every time it rains water pools and runs under the siding. These things are live savers.

Got 2 10' Quick Dams the day before Tropical Storm Harvey hit Houston. They literally saved my house from flooding. Placed them along base of 2 sets of french doors in my patio and they worked incredibly well. Expanded quickly and had the density and weight of one long sand bag. My backyard doesn't drain well and with the incredible amount of rain we received - over 40" in my neighborhood during the storm - water flooded my patio and if it weren't for the Quick Dam barriers the water would certainly have made it through the doors. 10-Star!

It's a miracle

So a couple of weeks ago I hear we're supposed to have a deluge, and remembering how my garage floods (new house) I order this thing practically 911 in anticipation of the deluge that never comes. Being lazy I just left the thing lying in front of the garage door, ignoring that in intervening weeks the feral cats and wind have repositioned it so it's about 6-8" out of position. Last night, awakened after 11 p.m. by a real deluge, pop out of bed & open the house door to the garage. Surprise, surprise...bone dry. Don jacket and head gear, run outside to check front of garage and the Quick Dam is swollen up like a stuffed turkey, doing its little job - even completely out of position and without the seam end tucked under the door - stopping the rain and sending the excess down the drain. Dunno about the drying out to reuse process yet, but so far it's a big hit and I'd recommend it highly.

Saved Me

This is about the fourth one I've bought in the past 3 months. It may be reusable after it dries, but I don't want to take a chance. It does start to smell a bit moldy if you leave it in place after it's soaked up water. I used this inside for a leaking basement foundation. It soaks up an amazing amount of water. Makes a pretty good dam preventing water from reaching the carpet. It doesn't make a perfect dam . . . some water still leaks underneath, but it slowed it down considerably. My only complaints? 1. This thing is extremely heavy (from all the water it's soaked up) when I have to pick it up to carry it outside. 2. Wear gloves when removing while it's wet. There is some type of desiccant gel (maybe silica) inside that irritates my hands. Works like it should. Has saved me more than once.

These got us through Hurricane Harvey!

Got these the day before the Houston flood hit. These are a lifesaver, they absorbed some of the water that got in our living room during hurricane Harvey. These quick dams are worth their weight in gold, they will spare you so much grief and trouble. We are going to buy more of these just to have on hand, God forbid we have more storms here in Houston. These are a lifesaver I cannot stress that enough. Thank you Quick Dam for making such excellent products! Sincerely a fan for life.

Worked Like a Charm

These work great. We had an issue for years with a large patio sliding door. Water was coming in from underneath and wetting the carpet when we had rains that pelted on that window. We installed these along the length of the slider on the outside and had no water enter the house at all. I am so happy to have found this product. If you have a similar issue as the one I explained, this works!!! So affordable and re-usable as well.

Great product

I have had problems with mud runoff, into our pool, for a long time. I have tried sandbags but they are extremely heavy to put out and put away and they're unsightly. I saw this and used it for the first time this morning. Works better than advertised. Very light, you just lay it out and it expands as it gets wet. The only anticipated drawback is that it takes 2-3 months to dry out but I haven't experienced that yet. Still better than those sand bags. Would definitely buy again - especially at this price.

Performed exactly as advertised. A very effective quick-fix to water flowing where it should not. I used one of these on the back patio of my apartment during heavy rain. The Quick Dam prevented the overflowing apartment courtyard from draining into my living room. Note the height, 3.5 inches, and determine whether you will need to layer several sets of barriers. I cannot say whether these would be substantial enough to hold against fast-moving water, but they will hold back a slowly rising pool.
