Abstract

A flood prevention system comprising a seal assembly for a doorway. The seal assembly has an inflatable seal 2 and a compression seal 3. The inflatable seal is inflated via an all purpose air valve 7 which has either a one way 6 or two way (5 Figure 3) air unison. The valve means may be at a specific height, for example hinge height on the door. The inflatable seal has a box shaped cross section and is manufacture to cater for right angled bends and corners. The inflatable seal may be able to stretch to accommodate different sized doors. The compression seal 3 is situated between the door frame and the doorway or wall and may be replaced with a second inflatable seal (Figures 2 and 3).
