Use around doorways, garages, leaking tanks, construction projects, anywhere water is a problem.

Review: Keeps my garage from flooding. - I went against my mama's advice and purchased a house that sits slightly below street level - so naturally every time Austin gets one of it's infamous gully-washers (in between droughts) my garage would flood out, at times the water coming close to entering the house proper, even with a grated drain in front of the garage door. These dams work VERY well - and it is such a relief to not have to anxiously monitor the situation constantly when the rains hit in the middle of the night, or worse, when I am away from home. Mine lasted about a year of brutal Texas heat and remarkable rainfall (even by Austin standards) before it was clearly going to start to lose its abilities - so it's not a permanent solution, but adequate for the reasonable cost. I am just grateful that I finally discovered this product last year - a high value for the added piece of mind it offers. **Update 3/18/2015: Second dam is functioning and holding up as well as the first **Update 8/1/2017: Still coming back for these -and they still seem to be the best solution for my particular issue - but I must add that some of them do last longer than others - some of them start leaking the interior absorbent stuff sooner than others do which is more of a manufacturing issue regarding weak seams. Some of them get desiccated within a few months, but this likely has to do with higher than usual levels of rain/severe heat/ rain/severe heat/rain. You get the picture. Even so, I haven't needed to replace more than 2-3 times a year. Still a good value from my point of view. Once these have swelled up with rainwater, don't expect to be able to roll these up and move them - they are heavy and SUPER gross to touch and just need to be left where they are until completely dry. I just leave mine in place all of the time myself - it's better that way here what with crazy Texas Hill Country weather!
Review: Quik dam works - Used during hurricane worked very well. Had problems getting them dried out, but who cares they helped keep water intrusion out of the house so they served the purpose. I just bought some more. Better than having to lug sand bags around IMO.
