  • Deploys Rapidly (6x faster than normal sandbags)

How do Quik-Response self expanding sandbags compare to normal sandbags as a flood protection barrier?


Faster Deployment

Using  traditional sandbags, it takes two individuals about one-hour to fill  and place a 1' x 20' dike (Emergency Mgmt. BC). With Quik-Response, two  individuals can deploy a 1' x 20' dike in under 15 minutes.  Our self expanding, sandless sandbags require no filling and no setup. A Quik-Response flood barrier deploys 6x faster than normal sandbags.


Easier to Store

A flood protection barrier than can easily be stored in your home. The Quik-Response sandless sandbag equivalent of thousands of pounds of traditional sandbags can be stored in a closet or small room. Before activation, Quik-Response Self Expanding Sandbags lay flat and are easily stored in boxes.   


Environmentally Beneficial

Each Quik-Response self expanding sandbag is biodegradable and eco-friendly.  Quik-Response biodegradable sandbags can be buried to hydrate vegetation and improve soils. Save the environment with these biodegradable sandbags. 


Save On Labor Costs

Upon contact with water, Quik-Response Self-Expanding Sandbags swell in both size and weight, reaching about 40 lbs. Traditional sandbags require a labor force for setup (filling bags with sand) and deployment. Quik-Response requires no setup and can be deployed by one or two individuals. An effective flood control device without the labor. 


Save On Transportation Costs  

Using a single pickup truck, the Quik-Response sandless sandbag equivalent of 11,000 lbs of traditional sandbags can be transported easily to a job-site.     


Save Time 

Hauling sand, filling sandbags, and lifting heavy bags to a job-site is a lengthy process. With Quik-Response Self-Expanding Sandbags, you simply lay the weightless units where you want them, add water, and watch them grow in minutes. Rapid deployment water dam flood protection when you need it.

Quik-Response Frequently asked questions

How do Quik-Response Self Expanding Sandbags work?

Quik-Response sandbags are initially flat & lightweight. Upon exposure to water, each unit expands in both size & mass to a 40lb, fully-functional sand bag flood control device.

How long do Quik-Response Self Expanding sandbags last for?

The shelf-life of an unactivated Quik-Response sand bag is  5 years (if sealed in packaging and kept dry). Once activated, bags can be used for up to 5 months.

Do I have to add water?

We recommend that you pre-activate Quik-Response Self Expanding Sandbags by submerging them in water or by hosing them down. Quik-Response can also be placed in position prior to activation, however, the units may get carried away by the flood-current.  For constructing retaining walls, pre-soaking & stacking them is recommended. 

Can Quik-Response be re-used?

Re-activation is not 100% reliable, and, therefore, we recommend this as a single-use product. However, once re-exposed to water, they will absorb  & swell again.

Can Quik-Response be used for indoor and outdoor flood control?

Yes. Quik-Response provides effective protection against both indoor and outdoor flooding.

How do I use Quik-Response to protect my property from flooding?

Quik-Response bags can be stacked in the same manner as normal sandbags. You can refer to this guide on how to properly build a sandbag barrier to stop the flow of floodwater. They can also be placed in front of doorways, windows and any other entrance point of floodwater. In minutes, your home is protected from internal and external flooding. Sandbags for sale in Canada available here. 

Is Quik-Response cost effective? In comparison, how much are sandbags?

Quik-Response can save you money on multiple fronts. Users will save square footage on storage space, save time and money on delivery to the flood site, save time in both man-hours and deployment. In short, Quik-Response saves its users time, potential flood damages, and thousands of dollars in labor and flood damages. How much are sandbags in comparison to Quik-Response? Check out this sandbag cost comparison sheet.

Do Quik-Response Self Expanding sandbags work better than normal sandbags as a water dam for flood p

Quik-Response performs better than normal sandbags in every way. They are easier to transport, faster to deploy and form tighter and more effective flood barriers than traditional sandbags. Quik-Response floodbags are the best sandbags for flood control. 

What are the recommended disposal methods for Quik-Response sandless sandbags?

Quik-Response is environmentally friendly and can be disposed of in a number of ways. We recommend burying the bags, as they are biodegradable and will slowly hydrate surrounding vegetation. Likewise, users can dispose of these biodegradable sandbags in the trash or a landfill.   

Are Quik-Response biodegradable sandbags environmentally safe?

Quik-Response is biodegradable and environmentally safe. The active ingredients have no negative effects on the environment based on the present state of knowledge and is often used as a soil additive for horticulture. Preserve our environment with these biodegradable sandbags for flooding.

Can Quik-Response be used in the winter/snow? Will they freeze?

Quik-Response can be used in the winter. Fully activate each unit before freezing temperatures occur to assure maximum protection when the snow is melting. Wondering where to buy sandbags this winter?
