As fireworks light up the sky this Fourth of July, don’t forget to lift a toast not only to freedom, but to American-made craftsmanship, safety, and preparedness. Quick Dam’s Made in USA flood control collection offers high-performance, reliable, and locally manufactured solutions designed to protect your home, business, and community through any weather event.
Why Choose Made in USA?
Quick Dam products are proudly designed, manufactured, and distributed right here in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, by the woman-owned Absorbent Specialty Products team. That means fast domestic shipping, high-quality materials, and supporting local jobs. Plus, many of these items carry environmental and non-toxic endorsements: they're pet-friendly, non-hazardous, and environmentally safe.
Key Products in the Quick Dam Made in USA Collection
Water‑Activated Flood Bags & Barriers (from $19.99)
These compact, lightweight defenses swell instantly on contact with fresh water, forming a gel-filled barrier within about 10 minutes. They come in standard and jumbo sizes that can absorb up to 8 gallons per bag which is ideal for doorways, garage entries, and basements. No sand, no hassle, no mess.
Outdoor Grab & Go Bucket Kits (from $100)
Complete kits packaged in handy buckets, ready for quick deployment when storms threaten. They include flood bags, barriers, and other essentials, perfect for emergency closets or vehicle storage.
Duffle Bag Kits (from $215)
These larger, rugged kits are ideal for contractors or property managers. Built to be durable and portable, just what you need in flood-prone areas.
Water Curbs (from $16–$123)
Engineered to redirect floodwaters away from structures, these sturdy curbs are versatile for landscaping, driveways, and walkways. Compact to store, yet powerful in action, and safe to use with salt water.
Indoor Leak Kits, Mats & Water Dams (from $12.99)
Perfect for plumbing leaks or HVAC drips: kits include drip mats, absorbent mats, and quick-response water dams. Designed to reduce slip-and-fall incidents and water damage in facilities and homes.
Hi‑Vis Barriers & Liquid Lock Slurry (from $150–$420)
These solutions address a wide range of flooding and water challenges on job sites—from hi-vis barriers designed to block and redirect water, to Liquid Lock, which solidifies slurry or contaminated soil for safe transport and compliant disposal.
Smart Preparedness That Lasts
Long Shelf Life: Water-activated products remain effective for 10+ years when stored properly.
One-Time Activation: Once deployed, they can remain in place for weeks or even months, though not designed for re-use once fully dried.
Environmentally Safe: Non-toxic, pet-friendly, and even compostable. Some materials make great garden soil additives after use.
How to Deploy
- Identify weak points: Door sweeps, window wells, laundry or water heater rooms.
- Have backups ready: Stash bags or kits by entryways or exits.
- Deploy efficiently: Activate and install before rain starts. Water-activated items gel in about 10 minutes.
-
Remove once safe: Indoor materials help mop up; outdoor dams can be left in place for season-long protection.
This Fourth, Go Local Go Prepared
This July 4th, celebrate American ingenuity not just with fireworks, but with flood protection that’s built, packed, and shipped in the USA. Quick Dam gives you reliable, effective gear that’s as dependable as the freedoms we cherish.
