Hi-Vis Water-Activated Flood Barriers | 10 ft Packs

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.

Make a water-diversion line easier to see while responding to a localized flood or leak. These high-visibility barriers combine an enclosed superabsorbent core with a bright outer cover. Each barrier starts compact and expands with fresh water, allowing maintenance teams to keep a ready supply without filling sandbags.
