We needed a semi-permanent spring through summer solution to rainy years. Water runs down the hill from the neighborhood and if it rains hard enough the water runs up against our foundation and the basement leaks. This is due to previous owners adding too much fill to the lawn when they removed a swimming pool in the 90s. I figured how to stop the problem from happening by using Quick Dams that puff up on demand. But the price of those is too high compared to owning this reusable PVC tube.The material is nice enough. I was mostly concerned with how thin it was, but it's reinforced PVC kind of like the floor of a nice tent or a life raft. It's nicer than your kid's inflatable wading pool, so my worries were relieved when I took it out of the box. It comes with two black pieces which I assume are patches. The 'wings' it comes with I will not be using, but they're yellow and can be kept to use as patches. I'm sure rubber cement will work well to fix this if needed.Most of the negative reviews are people trying to stop a one-time event and then drain and remove the thing. I plan on inflating in April and leaving until July. I didn't have any problems filling it with my garden nose. Make sure the filler it pointed up and that it's at the highest level and you can get the whole thing to fill all the way. I got the yellow one because it won't get as hot in the sun hopefully, but now we have a giant 24 foot lawn banana. But it's a necessary evil to keep my house dry for the time being until I win the lottery and can call out heavy earth moving companies to swale and tile my back yard.

After significant storm surge from 2 hurricanes I’m tired of the sand bags so I bought these to replace them. Haven’t used them yet but they appear well made and the idea is sound. They will be much easier to install. Just lay them out and fill them with a garden hose. To break them down just pull the plug and let them drain. Not looking forward to using them but I’ve got them!

My main concern was how do you empty it. There is a fill opening for filling it with a hose. It takes about 30 minutes to fill. There is no drain opening on the bottom . I tried contacting customer service which was a joke. 2 times I had to send them my Amazon order number. All I wanted to know was what there suggestion was for emptying it. A very simple question and they were more concern with the Amazon order number than supporting the product.The product is well built and works. With no answer from customer service I bought an electric pump to drain it. Also though it weighs a ton you can somewhat roll it to get the fill opening on its side to start draining

Extremely happy with this product kept water out of the house easy to fill easy to empty easy to store would highly recommend this product

I hope that I don’t need them but I’m please will the quality of the flood barriers!!

We just went through Hurricane Helene and we placed a large one in front of our garage doors. It floated away. We had a 9 1/2 foot storm surge which was just too much for these barriers. The company contacted us to discuss the issue and have us s full refund.

Easy to use but you need two people to fill it. It saved our garage by blocking water from our side garage door during hurricane Helene and Milton. Well worth the cost. Don’t overfill and it will be easier to use to block crevices. Use plastic bag or sheet to cover door cracks and this against it held the water back. It was only a small amount of water not a lake but it kept it out.

The bags float and busted through my garage door. Which we now have to replace. We recommended this product to our neighbors and none worked. The literally floated away. We can’t find 1/2 of them. We ordered the fill nozzle and it’s not the correct size for the large bag. At a minimum you should refund everyone who purchased these things. There is no way one ounce of testing went into this product. DO NOT BUY!!!!!
