Leaky Bulkhead Repair and Replacement is common throughout CT, MA, NH, VT, and RI as well as many other states, due to wear and tear, substandard materials used, extreme changes in temperature, rubber seals degraded from ice, water, heat, and soil, broken anchor bolts, fasteners, or mounting points, structural degradation supporting the bulkhead, which includes the wooden framing and/or the concrete foundation wall.
During the construction of your Home, the Precast Bulkhead, Hatchway, or Cellar Door is bolted to the outside of your concrete foundation or basement. A rubber or urethane gasket is applied between the bulkhead and the foundation wall to seal it from the elements. Due to the frost heaves we experience in Connecticut (CT) and Massachusetts (MA), the precast bulkhead lifts and the gasket becomes separated from the foundation, which allows for water, moisture, soil, insects, and animals to enter your basement or cellar. If you discover any water or moisture accumulating in your basement, we would advise that you have it fixed as soon as possible, to avoid toxic mold growth, mildew, foundation degradation or cracking, or flooding.
Attack A Crack™ will remove the old gasket and inject an Industrial Strength Epoxy Urethane Resin in between the foundation and the Precast Bulkhead, creating a brand new gasket. Once this process is complete, your bulkhead will never leak again for the life of your home, but if it should, we have you covered with a LIFETIME GUARANTEE on ALL WORKMANSHIP!
Also, there is no need to excavate the outside area of your foundation or basement wall, which will save you time, money, and the headache of having to re-landscape the area around your Bulkhead. This process can be done in less than a day for a fraction of the cost of replacing or excavating the bulkhead. Or, if your Bulkhead is at the end of its life, or you just want to replace it with a new one, we can replace your existing bulkhead with a new one, and seal it tight. If you’re not sure what you’ll need done, please call us, send us pictures, and we’ll have one of our professional contractors answer your concerns in 10 minutes or less!
