Quick Dam Sandless Flood Bags | Water-Activated Barriers
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.
Prepare a sandbag alternative without storing or handling loose fill. Quick Dam Flood Bags absorb fresh water and expand into weighted, gel-filled bags that help contain or divert surface water. The compact dry format is practical for keeping supplies ready near doorways, garages and other areas included in your flood-response plan.
