QuickUp Disposable Absorbent Water Dams | 5 & 10 ft
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.
Stage disposable absorbent dams for indoor leaks, water-based spills and routine maintenance response. QuickUp dams start flat and expand when they contact water, creating a low boundary around the affected area. Their high-visibility yellow covers include warning symbols, helping make the deployed absorbent easier to notice during the response.
