Indoor Absorbent Water Dams for Leaks | 4, 8 & 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.
Form an absorbent boundary around a plumbing leak, condensation area or water-using appliance. Indoor Water Dams start flat, then swell when they contact water. Their flexible length helps follow the shape of an equipment base or guide a spreading leak toward a collection area, while the contained absorbent turns the liquid into gel.
