Abstract (en)
The present invention provides an apparatus for flood-proofing a garage with a single panel garage door (1). The apparatus comprises a first sealing member (2) for mounting around a periphery of a lower portion of an inner surface of the garage door (1), a second sealing member (6) and mounting means (4) for mounting the second sealing member (6) around the garage in a cooperative position to the first sealing member (2). Mounting the first sealing member (2) on a suitable position on an inner surface of a garage door (1) and mounting the mounting means (4) and second sealing member (6) in a cooperative position within the garage allows the garage to be sealed when the garage door (1) is closed. This is achieved as closing the garage door (1) presses the first sealing member (2) into the second sealing member (6), thereby forming a waterproof seal. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the apparatus also comprises a vehicle supporting ramp (5) for positioning on the floor of the garage (3) adjacent the supporting member (4) to prevent the supporting member (4) and second sealing member (6) being damaged as a vehicle enters and leaves the garage.
