Emergency Water Control Kit for Indoor Leaks & Flooding
Details
Quick Dam is the water-control brand launched in 2012 by Absorbent Specialty Products, which Carol Dancer founded in 2004. Based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the woman-owned company develops practical absorbent products for homes, workplaces and emergency response. Its focus on product innovation has led to solutions for everyday leaks as well as storm preparation. The team emphasizes water-control tools that people can keep ready before problems occur.
Keep a compact first-response kit ready for a leaking appliance, basement seepage or water approaching a doorway. This Emergency Water Control Kit pairs an outdoor flood barrier with two indoor water dams, so you can choose the appropriate absorbent for the location. Each piece starts flat and expands when it contacts fresh water; no sand filling is required.
