Would it not be better to just let it display the damage so you know how bad that compartment is?
I read that you cannot pump out at room unless the bulkhead is repaired first. Is this true? This would compound the problem.

If a bulkhead is damaged, flooding can be stopped through repairs. In no way shape or form is the bulkhead a strong as when first fabricated. Therefore, taking a dive is at your own risk, but flooding is stopped and you can get underway. At this point the party is over and time to return to port.
