Why Choose Flood Barriers for Homes? 

Our flood barrier products provide fast protection against high waters from storms or overflowing waterways and are easy to install. They require no sand or concrete to fix them in place. Simply stack the flood bags around the areas you want to seal off, and either wait for rain or douse them in water with a hose. The carefully formulated contents will absorb the water and turn into a durable gel, providing an impermeable barrier against excess surface water in as little as 10 minutes.

What's more, once the flood bags dry out fully, they can be removed and put into storage during dry weather before being quickly installed again when a flood risk returns. The bags' contents are non-hazardous and non-toxic and will naturally decompose at the end of their life without environmental damage.

Where Can You Use Our Flood Barriers? 

Flood bags can be placed anywhere around your home that's at risk of flooding, including:

• Around guttering downspouts and other areas where water builds up in heavy rain. 
• Along pathway and driveway edges to divert water safely into sewers or other channels away from your property.
• Alongside waterways and drainage channels, or even around garden ponds, to guard against temporary overflows.
• Alongside running water to provide long-term erosion control. 

For maximum versatility, flood barriers can be stacked on top of each other to offer adjustable protection as the water levels rise, with each bag reaching its full height within minutes of activation.

Door Flood Barrier Solutions 

You can use flood bags as viable door flood barriers. Place them between doorways and typical water paths to protect your home’s interior or put them inside an exterior door for fast emergency flood protection without sandbags. 

You can also find flood barrier doors that can be fitted between many doorways due to extendable sides, with an inflatable tube helping to seal water out. 

Where Can't You Use Fast-Acting Flood Barriers? 

While our door flood barrier products are activated by regular water, they're not suitable for managing swimming pool water that contains chlorine, as the chemical causes a reaction that dries out the protective gel. Similarly, flood barrier bags aren't effective against salt water or in areas with a high lime content that can leech into the surface water.

Choose Your Flood Barrier Size 

Our flood barriers are available in a range of sizes to suit different installation needs. At the smaller end, a door flood barrier measuring around 60 inches is ample enough to protect most typical doorway sizes, with even smaller bags useful for covering crawl space vents and other openings.

At the other end of the scale, flood bags measuring more than 200 inches in length are ideal for edging driveways or creating sturdy channels to divert water away from larger areas of your property.

We purchased 9 of the Easy Dams for our home in Florida and we also purchased a used one that needed a couple of parts. It was very easy to service and repair and support even followed up numerous time to see if our manager got it installed and to help if there any problems - there were no problems. It was also amazingly simple to install the support poles. The instructional videos were very helpful and anyone with basic handyman skills can do it.

This is a robust and top quality product that is our first line of defense for any flood.

This thing is excellent and the company has the best support. Last year Poseidon thought it would be funny to flood our home in the NY hudson valley with a 5.5' tidal surge on Christmas eve. Fortunately I had been following the forecast and had purchased the Dam Easy barrier a month prior.

I had installed the barrier the night before in preparation and awoke to find 18"+ of water up the side of my house and the barrier. Over the next 2-3 hours the the Dam Easy barrier worked perfectly in keeping the water from our basement and saved our Christmas. A true miracle!

As the tide subsided and our Dam Easy-less neighbors were pumped dry, a member of our local fire department asked if we needed our basement pumped out. I'm pretty sure he didn't believe me when I told him we were fine (likely thinking we were hiding a meth lab or something).

I now keep my barrier ready with spare seals on hand just in case we experience a similar surge. Top marks Dam Easy!

I live in North East Florida on the Intracoastal Waterway. We flooded 5 years ago during Hurricane Irma. Every year during mid-summer we start watching the Hurricane Tracker app to monitor potential storms. We typically don’t schedule extended vacations during September and October during peak hurricane season. In , we had two potential flood events where water rose above our seawall. While thankfully we did not flood, it was a very stressful situation. We needed a solution to eliminate / minimize flooding.

In November, I spent countless hours online searching for solutions to prevent flooding. I reviewed numerous publications on how to flood proof your home, including FEMA’s “Homeowner’s Guide to Retrofitting” and, countless online reviews for all types of products.

My considerations for purchase were: 1) component quality of product, 2) potential effectiveness, 3) ease of use, 4) top rated reviews, and 5) cost.

Based on these criteria I selected DamEasy flood barriers. I used the online calculator to determine the number of barriers and extension poles required. For our rear doors I emailed DamEasy photos to get an expert recommendation since I had raised stucco foam trim around some doors and was concerned about the structural integrity. To my surprise I received a call the next day from Chris at DamEasy. He said they would be in my area and would it be okay if they come over the house and personally view exactly what was needed.

During Chris’s visit I purchased flood barriers and extension poles to protect all 6 openings on my house. I needed some additional cement / stucco work to further protect my house and install the extension pole base sockets. Chris recommended a local contractor that was working with DamEasy in North Florida. I hired them and their work product was amazing and it was done at a reasonable price.

In my opinion DamEasy has a high quality product with great customer service. While we still get uneasy when a new tropical disturbance is announced, we feel more at ease with the DamEasy flood barriers. Hopefully we will never have to use the flood barriers, but we know we have an added level of protection – which is simply DamEasy.

Our home in St Augustine flooded twice last year. And while insurance covered the majority of repairs, after dealing with all the bs and nearly a full year of contractors, dry wall guys and big box stores, I was looking for some kind of flood mitigation system that wasn't too expensive or ridiculous to install. After reviewing several different options – including what amounted to a giant rubber donut placed around my house – I was really confused. Everything seemed so expensive and crazy to install that I basically gave up until I noticed a neighbor had purchased a system from a company called DamnEasy Flood Barriers. Interested, I set up an appointment with their sales guy and was pleasantly surprised to see their system was not only super easy to install, but also reasonably priced. As a guy who flunked wood shop – twice – I was hesitant at first because this kind of thing is out of my lease, but when I saw and felt the DamnEasy product I was convinced it could work. At 44 pounds – and with adjustable wings – the DamnEasy barrier fit snuggly in my doorway within a matter of minutes. Even my wife was surprised how easy it was for her to install the system. We even showed a neighbor how to do it in case we weren’t in town when a flood hit, and he had the whole system – 4 door barriers and a chain of barriers for our garage – up in less than 15 minutes. And while there was about 4 feet on the side of my house where we needed to install a small concrete wall, the DamnEasy guys even helped with that, utilizing their local contractor to get the job done in a day or two. And while it sounds a little crazy, I’m actually anticipating our next flood so I can see how well the system works (and I have every reason to believe it will). Even betterl, the DamnEasy system costs me less than half of the other systems I was investigating, none of which went up as easily or seemed seems as sturdy. No special tools or crazy retrofitting – the system was ready to install the moment it was delivered. Not sure how much easier it can get but would recommend DamnEasy to anyone looking to avoid the hassles of even a minor flood (which caused us over $150k in damage.)
