Installing Dam Easy on a Double Garage & Front Door

This installation guide video demonstrates how Dam Easy Flood Barriers can be installed on both double garage doors and front doors. These areas are often the most vulnerable entry points during flooding, and correct installation is essential for reliable protection.

How to Install on a Double Garage Door

Measure the full width of the garage opening.
Assemble the required Dam Easy barrier panels.
Place the barrier evenly across the garage entrance.
Ensure the base seal sits flat on the ground.
Check side seals are aligned tightly with the garage frame.

How to Install on a Front Door

Clear the doorway and ensure the ground surface is clean.
Position the Dam Easy barrier at the base of the door opening.
Align the side seals with the door frame.
Check stability before flood water reaches the entrance.

The compact design allows Dam Easy to be installed quickly, making it ideal for emergency flood situations.

Why Proper Installation Is Important

Prevents water ingress through gaps and uneven surfaces

Better than Bags!

I wanted a product that was easy to install in case the weatherman predicted floods in Southwest Florida. I purchased one to check out the quality and the ease of installation. After one door I was sold. I have since put up panels for the garage level seeing that is at a lower elevation and is prone to flooding. I’m taking steps to mitigate potential flood damage. They are easy to put up and lighter than sand bags! The follow-up and support from the company is unheard of…you actually speak to a human on the other end of the call that is knowledgeable and professional.

Incredible support! Top quality product!

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.

Good quality material

A highly professional and efficient company to deal with that kept its promises as far as fulfilling the order and delivery time. Materials arrived, exceptionally well, wrapped and protected with easy to follow instructions. Luckily, I have a good handyman who obtained the correct drill by rental, and made installation seem damn easy. I could not have done this on my own. We were impressed by the quality of the product although the parts seem a little heavier than we anticipated. We expect they will be excellent barriers high water. We also have another installation on a door between the garage and the foyer inside the house. We would strongly recommend this company so far.

Love these gates for peace of mind

I live near a creek that could potentially flood in central Florida. It gives me the greatest peace of mind to put these gates up and feel confident that I am protected. Right now, hurricane rains and flooding potential is high and I am feeling safe in my home.

Superior designed product

Very well thought out product with fairly easy installation. Definitely a ciut above the rest. Thankfully have not needed it yet but ready to go. So far on a test run has held air pressure for 5 days. So works as designed and for Hurricane use more than acceptable.

A Christmas Miracle

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!

Flood protection

I have the Dameasy flood barriers for the past 5 years. I have put them up on several occasions, but fortunately we did not need them. On 13/11/23 for Storm Debi they went up again and on this occasion they definitely proved their worth. Without the Dameasy flood barriers, we would have been flooded. Best money ever spent.

Quick Delivery / Quick Install

I have installed the new seal on my Barrier. It was extremely easy to install. I then stored the product "ready to go" and hope to never need it!! The barrier, btw, worked amazingly well - held back 2 feet of water...

I bought more ( :

After these barriers proved effective in my single door openings, I bought more and connector poles to cover a 100" opening. We also raised the clothes dryer vents to 48" and filled the old openings with concrete.
Now, my 1950 Brick Bunker is protected within minutes, and my friends say they're stylish, too. Thank you DamEasy Flood Barriers. We keep them under our beds.

Sleeping Better during Hurricane Season

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 2022, 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 phone 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.
