Use around doorways, garages, leaking tanks, construction projects, anywhere water is a problem.Protect Against:Storm surges & water main breaksOverflowing appliances & equipmentLeaking equipment & water tanksBroken sprinkler headsA/C condensation overflowSpills, leaks, floods, drips & moreWater Activated Flood BarriersJust get them wetGrows to a full size of 3.5in high in 10 minutesContains a super absorbent powder that swells and gels waterSwelled barriers contain, control, and divert flood waterNo need for sand or labor filling productAvailable in 5ft, 10ft, or 17ft lengthsAbsorbs 4 gallons, 8 gallons & 13.5 gallons of water respectivelyHow to UsePlace the Barriers in the path of oncoming flood water.As they come in contact with water, it will absorb through material & start to swell.Barriers reach their full height of 3.5in in 10 mins if enough water is present.If a rush of water is expected or you need to stack them, pre-soaking them is recommended.Not for use with Salt water.* Place wider section of Barrier towards water, as the smaller section (wedge) prevents it from rolling. **DO NOT want water moving in this direction causing seepage in between the Barriers.Tips & TricksDuring first activation, we recommend checking on them to make sure they are directing water as desired. Adjustments may be necessary as landscaping can alter water flow.Barriers should be stacked higher than water level for stability and to prevent them from floating away.Barriers are flexible and can be curved or wrapped.Barriers have a dual chamber, place wider edge towards water & smaller wedge away from water to prevent rolling out of position.Pre-Soaking is recommended prior to stacking or if heavy rain or water flow is expected.Staining may occur in instances where the surface is porous or unfinished cement is present. Remove from area when no longer needed.Porous surfaces like unfinished cement cause excessive seepage, since they are both trying to absorb water. Plastic barrier film in between, may help.For use in the winter/snow months, make sure they are fully activated before freezing temperatures occur to assure maximum protection when the snow is melting. We do not recommend moving them while frozen to prevent any tearing of the outer material. Also, salt on the roads should not come in contact with Quick Dams. To help, pre-activate Quick Dams with water & then wrap plastic under & over the top to prevent the salt from making contact.Do NOT use around salt water, lime or calcium. These will cause the inner absorbent to release the water & deflate the product making it useless.Flood Barriers will not fully activate unless enough water is present.Once activated by water they can be used as a barrier against other oils & chemicals.Leave in place for 3-6 months of ongoing protection. Shrinking will occur as they dry out, but they will swell again once re-exposed to water.Length of time to dry out varies on climate. Average is about 3 months as higher humidity levels tend to take longer.Once completely dry, they will feel crunchy and ready for reactivation. Smooth the contents to evenly distribute the super absorbent polymers.Direct sunlight causes the product to degrade at a rapid pace, which will result in the product feeling slimy.Do NOT cut. The inner contents will be exposed and will make the product unusable.Storage & Shelf LifeBarriers unused, have a 5+ year shelf life.Store in sealed bag for maximum term.Keep on hand for immediate deployment.How to Dispose Throw away in trash.Quick Dams are safe: Pet friendlyNon-toxicEnvironmentally safe.Optional- great soil additive to help retain moisture- cut open & spread/ blend contents on lawn or garden (NOTE- will be VERY slippery until it degrades & disappears) Review: Will block or divert water. Very good product. - These are great and do as described. Used in a recent rain event and kept water away from the area needed. They take awhile to expand and will take a long time to dry out and inflate but can then be rolled up again when flat. Review: Überraschend gute Lösung - Als im vergangenen Herbst bei uns Hochwasser drohte, haben wir "last minute" diese Hochwasserbarrieren bestellt - und als das Wasser kam, waren wir froh sie zu haben! So unscheinbar, wie diese Barrieren auch im trockenen Zustand aussehen, tun sie doch absolut was sie sollen, wenn sie im Einsatz sind. Und als das Wasser weg war, waren wir zudem froh, wie unkompliziert eine sachgemäße, ökologisch korrekte Entsorgung ist. Wie sich herausstellte, lassen sie sie nämlich problemlos im Restmüll entsorgen. ## Features - Water Activated Flood Barriers, Rated #1 in Flood Control - Grows to 3.5in high in minutes, just get them wet - Long, flexible design creates all sorts of shapes - Use to control, contain & divert flood water - Ready to use, no sand or labor needed; Compact & Lightweight, stores away until needed; Use to protect doorways, garages, leaking hot water tanks, erosion control & more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0085S19D6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #48,852 in Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Home Improvement ) #275 in Building Materials #30,589 in Home Furnishing | | Brand | Quick Dam | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 5,992 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Other | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00610585906224 | | Included Components | Safe Accessories | | Item Thickness | 3.5 Inches | | Item Type Name | Quick Dam 5ft Flood Barrier | | Item Weight | 1.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Quick Dam | | Manufacturer Part Number | QD65-2 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | no warranty available | | Material | Other | | Model number | QD65-2 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Size | Other | | UPC | 610585906224 006105859062 | | Unit Count | 10.0 Feet | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Quick Dam - **Colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 22.9 x 7.6 x 21 Centimeters - **Material:** Other - **Shape:** Tube ## Images ![Quick Dam Water Activated Flood Barrier 5 Feet 2-Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+o57DKXPL.jpg) ![Quick Dam Water Activated Flood Barrier 5 Feet 2-Pack - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815o04sjQRL.jpg) ![Quick Dam Water Activated Flood Barrier 5 Feet 2-Pack - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dPoaC6KhL.jpg) ![Quick Dam Water Activated Flood Barrier 5 Feet 2-Pack - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615As6iSe2L.jpg) ![Quick Dam Water Activated Flood Barrier 5 Feet 2-Pack - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wC9y7-lNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I drive car over this dam?** A: When it's dry and flat, maybe; but not a good idea when it has swelled with water....it would burst and release the gel. **Q: What is a super absorbent material to place on window sills till windows are repaired?** A: Our product absorbs water & swells to divert flood water so should work. **Q: These are only for one rainy season? What do you do with them afterwards?** A: when they are dry, they shrink down to their original size, you can fold them up and store them for another rainy day **Q: Can these be used inside a door to keep water from coming in?** A: I suppose so, but I believe they are intended for outdoor use. My back door connects to my laundry room. Rainwater tends to pool just outside during heavy rainfall. It doesn’t take long for it to start spilling inside. I placed one of these OUTSIDE the door right up against the threshold. The rain activates the swelling as it absorbs. It raises up about 3-4 inches and no water gets past it. Since I’ve gotten this (like a week ago), we have had 3 major rain events, and my laundry room floor is completely dry. The best part is it can stay right where it is through the duration of hurricane season and keep on working. I did purchase a different item for inside the door but didn’t need it—plus it was in the way of opening that door when I needed to take the trash out. It’s supposed to decompose after 6 months or so—I wouldn’t want it doing that in my house. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will block or divert water.

No leaking into basement suite this year! Takes a long time to dry, a week.
