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.

Nice Product!

These work really well. Put them in place to prevent water flow over newly seeded lawn - they're flat until water hits them, then they swell to 4-6 inches inches high. The 5 foot length is enough for a typical stairway/doorway opening. After they dry out they turn flat again, but will swell back up the next time it rains, so it's important to anchor them down with a couple of rocks or bricks on each end so they don't blow away when they dry out.

They worked like I could never have imagined

Purchased 2 of these to stop water from going into my apartment through 2 sets of sliding doors on my balcony. They worked like I could never have imagined. I've since had the drainage fixed so the problem is solved but I read the reviews and ordered these and I wasn't disappointed. I did my research because my challenge was a flooding patio balcony with slow drainage and the water would back up and enter my apartment under the sliding doors. This product worked through several severe storms over a few months that dropped inches of rain in short periods.

Repelled Flooding during Harvey

We used these during Harvey and they helped save the back of our house. The water was coming up over our patio door and seeping in through the floor due to bad drainage in our backyard. We deployed these once we realized and they stopped any further damage. They don't seem to dry out all that well (or maybe at all) because when you leave them out in the sun... you can forget and then it rains (oops). So sadly these are really just a one-and-done kind of usage. I'm concerned about throwing them out though? I'm not sure about the environmental impact they'll have if we just toss them in the trash.

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.

Got 2 10' Quick Dams the day before Tropical Storm ...

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!

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.

Hurricane season is about to start...these work to keep the water out.

We gave up on sandbags after our experience with hurricane Irma...Sandbags do not stop rising water no matter how many are stacked. However these Quick Dam Flood Barriers have worked wonderfully and we have used them through all the subsequent heavy rainstorms coming our way. I have bought several and will barricade all the openings to my home during the upcoming hurricane season. Stack them if high water is expected. They are worth the money.
