Quick Dam QD65-1 Water-Activated Flood Barrier-5 Feet-1/Pack, 5-ft, Black

This solved my rain leaking back door problem by absorbing the rain and creating a barrier. Very good purchase

Good product –keeps the water out and works exactly as in description.

Street floods and comes up the driveway. Two of these stacked on top of a plastic film has kept the garage totally dry. Now that I know (Company answered the question) they have a shelf life of 10 years or more, I am comfortable keeping several of different sizes in a tote for storm season to come around. Experimenting now for the first time on reuse -- 3 weeks and they are still drying out. Not optimistic but don't really care -- will happily trash them and use new ones next round as before if necessary. At my age I cannot handle sandbags and this product is fantastic. Even one layer of those across my 16' garage door would be impossible for me. Use: First use a few years ago I tried soaking them in bath tub for move to in-place. FAILURE on MY part. Horrible to move because of weight. I imagine like moving a 17' boa constrictor. Ever since I've always put in place, hosed down to partially expand (enough that wind wouldn't take away), and let the rising water expand them the rest of the way. Outstanding product. Cost is reasonable, storage for future emergency use takes little space and shelf life is long, lightweight for movement, easy to expand, and most importantly, they stop water intrusion.

Não dura muito tempo, logo começa a soltar o gel, não recomendo.

I will be buying these again!! We had a flood from rain a couple weeks ago and it was unexpected and destroyed a lot. I heard we were getting a lot of rain with flooding this weekend so on Friday I ordered these and the single pack ones, they got here at 4 am, I put them around the outside of our crawl and foundation and garage doors, and 4+ inches of rain I didn't have water in the garage or coming up from my flood vents in my house because these things stopped the water!!! They are so easy, I soaked some the night before and others I didn't and they just did literally what they said they were supposed to do. With a young child and losing a lot in a recent flood and ripping up my son's playroom floor because it when I got these set up and through out the rain storm I changed them my anxiety and stress level decreased so much because this product did its job! No odor, no mess, very stable even the ones I didn't fill and I let the rain start to fill they stayed in place! Thank you I felt like my home was safe. I even have family in florida that I told them about these and they are already ordering them!

Does what it says on the bag. Easy to put down and stays in place once wet. It's protected my front door from the recent downpours and reduced splash up from passing traffic. Definitely worth the cost. States it's reusable in that once it's fully dried up, it can be stored away - yet to see if that will be the case, as will be leaving down until after winter. It's not brash or intrusive so no problem leaving out to be prepared for 'just in case' moments. Would probably recommend buying a slightly larger size than you think you'll need

Bei uns kommt regelmäßig über die Felder bei Starkregen das Wasser mit Schlamm in den Hof. Wir haben jetzt auf der ganzen Hofeinfahrtlänge den Quick Dam ausgelegt wenn das Wasser wieder nicht abfließen kann. Funktioniert super. Zuerst saugt sich der Schlauch voll und sieht dann aus wie eine Wurst. Wenn das Wetter wieder sonnig ist, lege ich Ihn einfach zum trocknen in die Sonne und dreh ihn immer wieder um damit er austrocknen kann. Er läßt sich zwar nicht wieder ganz so klein wie im Original zusammen schrumpfen, aber nahezu. Wir legen Ihn dann bis zum nächsten Gebrauch an der Wandseite auf den Garagenboden.
