Reusable Water-Filled Flood Barriers | 5, 10 & 20 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.
Use water as the fill material for a reusable flood-diversion barrier. Water Curbs store empty, fill on site and drain after the response, reducing the need to store a permanently filled barrier. Their dual-chamber construction helps resist rolling while forming a physical line for directing water around suitable entryways and other low areas.
