Bilco basement entry doors—also known as bulkhead or cellar doors—provide a safe, convenient, and weather-resistant way to access your basement from the outside. At Aqua Dry Basement Waterproofing, we specialize in professional Bilco door installation, replacement, and waterproofing integration, ensuring your basement stays protected while remaining easily accessible.
Whether you’re replacing an old, rusted bulkhead or installing a brand-new basement entry, our team delivers long-lasting, code-compliant solutions built for durability and performance.
Bilco doors are angled exterior basement entry systems designed to provide direct access to your basement while protecting it from the elements. Typically constructed from heavy-duty steel, these doors are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions and provide long-term security.
Often referred to as bulkhead doors, cellar doors, or hatchways, they are installed over basement stairwells and open outward for easy access.
Bilco doors provide a convenient way to move large items like furniture, appliances, and equipment in and out of your basement—without navigating tight interior staircases.
Built with durable materials and weather-tight seals, Bilco doors protect your basement from rain, snow, and debris, helping prevent water intrusion and damage.
High-quality steel construction and locking systems provide an added layer of protection against unauthorized entry.
Bilco doors can serve as an additional exit point in emergencies and may help meet building code requirements for basement access and safety.
These doors are designed to resist corrosion, impact, and extreme weather, offering decades of reliable performance with proper maintenance.
We handle the entire installation process with precision:
