Door Dam Flood Barrier - Residential Flood Protection up to 28 inches for Doorways

I just used these for my front and back doors in Hurricane Debby. Luckily we didn’t get storm surge up to my doors, so it was kind of a practice session. The dams are really well designed and the instruction book is excellent. They also come with some putty conveniently packaged in waxed paper in the right amount to use. The one problem I ran into was my front door. The dam fit between the door and the screen, which was great. HOWEVER, when the wind drove the rain through the screen door, all the water got trapped between the dam and the door. I ended up using towels to soak up the leaking under the door into my house…next time I am going to figure out some way to attach some kind of slanted thing to direct the wind-driven rain back out of the doorway. So, if you don’t have a porch or overhang which would block wind-driven rain (and it was coming in on 60+ mph gusts straight into the door), make sure to create something to deal with that. The seal was great — that’s why the water came in under the door, because it couldn’t get past the dam. These are so much better than sandbags!

I bought my Dam Easy about 2 years ago from Amazon. I used it once successfully during a hurricane we had (it worked BEAUTIFULLY!). We ran into a minor glitch recently, so I reached out to customer support. Everyone was so helpful and responsive. Thank you to Chris who called me to talk me through the issue. When I was still having trouble, he emphasized that this is a product for LIFE and was able to get me a replacement at no charge. Thank you to Gizelle for coordinating the replacement - we shared quite a few emails and she was ALWAYS so responsive and kind! I am truly grateful to have a barrier that will keep my home safe from all the hurricanes we get, and I am more thankful that this product is backed with incredible customer support. It's one thing to have a product that works, but if you don't have a team that is responsive and there to help the customer, then you'd be SOL if something happens. My money was very well spent, and now Dam Easy has a customer for life. If/when our family moves to a house with more doors, there is no doubt I will be purchasing more. It's also really comforting to know that there is a location in Florida to take care of any repair needs. Thank you Gizelle, Chris, and Dam Easy!!

Good idea….hope I never have to use it!

We bought this damn flood gate prior to Helene flooding our house . It didn’t keep out the salt water which rose above the height of the gate . After the damage was done . We took the gate down but the ratchet would not work , it is very disappointing that the $ 900.00 damn gate did not keep the water out and the damn gate doesn’t work anymore .

Despite of having impact doors/windows and all-around shutters in our 9th floor apartment, we have experienced inside wood flooring water exposure/intrusion during at least three hurricanes impacting our South Florida area within the last 15 years. The water has entered through the balcony floor incompletely sealed by the roll-up shutters and not prevented by the impact doors. And also unsatisfactorily prevented by placing multiple towels between the inside aspect of the shutters and the impact doors. That’s when I started to search for a solving alternative. It so happens that “Damn Easy Flood Barrier” has been the perfect solution to my problem. I already test-installed five of them. Their design has been the ideal one as they provide for an easy adjustment of their width plus a very smart surrounding inflatable seal mechanism creating a watertight seal. It took minutes per flood barrier to properly install each one of them. Additionally, the customer support from the company (Ireland) has been really outstanding; I had to contact Rebecca because of some delay by Customs and she immediately answered my email and provided constant support all-the-way-through until a successful delivery of the barriers occurred. I am really very satisfied with the product and the Company’s Customer Support for which I have given a 5 Star satisfaction score. Therefore I unhesitatingly recommend the product and the reliability of the Company.

This product doesn't work. I ended up with 2 feet of water that came through the same doorway this product was suppose to protect

Very good product; after several storms and floods, we can affirm that this product fully meets its functions. It’s a high investment, but it’s worth it. Easy to use. Easy to store. An excellent investment that pays for itself after a couple of floods.

I Love this easy to install very durable and heavy
