Building a house in New Hampshire. Basement needs secondary egress. Originally planned on Bilco’s Scape Wel; however, we have heard that many of these leak. Has anyone used this product, and is a standard bulkhead Bilco steel door a better choice?
Thanks

Can you explain more about your leak concerns?
Are you thinking soil leaks in around the perimeter?
Water leaks around the perimeter?
Putting on a lid and having that leak water?
Water leaking into the house?
I am not clear on what your concern is.
Any more info?
Thanks for your reply. I spoke with the building materials supply guy and stand coprrected. It was more a concern for possible leaks rather than actual units leaking. I have decided to use a standard Bilco bulkhead arrangement, since it permits access to the basement. They now have plastic, rather than steel, units.
Thanks
Johnny
