When a bulkhead leak occurs, it can lead to water infiltration in the basement, causing damage to the foundation, walls, and floors. In addition to structural damage, water infiltration can create a damp and musty environment that is conducive to mold growth, posing a health hazard to your family. At Foundation Crack Seal, we understand the importance of addressing bulkhead leaks promptly and offer comprehensive bulkhead leak repair services to homeowners in Millis, MA, and southeastern Massachusetts.

Trust the Experts for Your Concrete Sealing Needs

The most common issue we’ve found is the cold joint in the concrete where the bottom step meets the floor, which often does not have a proper seal. Typically, builders apply a rubber tar product, which doesn’t make a tight seal and breaks down over time, allowing water seepage to enter the basement. However, sometimes this joint can be sealed simply by an injection of an epoxy or polyurethane foam, which we can assess upon inspection.

If determined that more is needed, we excavate down to the footer and check for drainage. If drainage is good, we install a dimple membrane covering the cold joint at the stair bottom over to the footer and fill the excavated trench with 3/4″ stone before laying concrete. This process ensures a solid, long-lasting repair that will protect your home from future water damage.
