About this deal

Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are the latest innovation in rising damp treatments. They are patented 12mm diameter grooved fibre rods that carry a powerful water repellent material. Dryrod has been thoroughly tested and is independently approved by the British Board of Agrement. Why Dryrod is Required Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods Next Generation DPC - The most effective form of damp proofing for walls; outperforms creams, gels or liquids.

A concrete internal floor won't be helping, this prevents any evaporation below floor level, so can trap water in the wall. Similarly, with both low and high alkalinity mortar, or low and high porosity mortar, the rods will still deliver the goods. Fast & Simple to Install DIY rising damp treatment. Less messy than older traditional damp course injection creams or liquids Laboratory testing has proven that Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods out-perform competing treatment methods, even in highly-saturated walls and freezing temperatures. They have also been approved by the British Board of Agrement and the German WTA organization.

After some research I have found I have rising damp, one of the issues was that the previous owner brought the garden walkway outside higher than the damp proof course. So I dug the side of the house out and put some damp proof rods in, the inside massively got better and became much dryer but not fully dry.

No specialist equipment required - simply insert into 12mm holes in the mortar lines of a building to form a powerful waterproof barrier Damp proof rods have emerged as a genuine alternative to even the highest quality DPC creams. Proven to be effective even in highly saturated walls, damp proof rods outperform even the best creams on the market.Traditional rising damp treatment methods utilise cream or liquid injection. These methods can be prone to operator error leading to under-treatment and DPC failure. Due to their unique patented design, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods deliver the correct dose of active ingredient every time. Strangely, where I have drilled my hole and put my damp rod, it seems wet along this mortar joint. Is this normal? If so I worry that when I get it plastered, the damp will just travel up the plaster again as it will soak it in. Start by drilling your holes. Using a 12mm drill bit, find the lowest horizontal mortar course. Next drill holes at 120mm intervals. As you approach the final 40mm of intended depth, release the pressure you are applying on the drill. Failure to do so could result in excessive pressure, which can cause damage to the other side of the wall. A high-strength silicone cream will do the job too of course. The cream is injected into holes, that have been drilled at regular intervals along a mortar course. This forms a DPC in much the same way to damp proof rods. The cream diffuses along the course and forms breathable water-repellent protection. This prevents damp rising up the wall. The damp started in a corner near the front door, then went the stretch of the wall and went up the wall, it still looks it might be in the corner but on the stretch of wall it seems to stop at the damp rods but is on the damp rod level and below.

Finally, damp proof rods can be installed into both warm and cold walls. Indeed, they will even be effective in freezing conditions. How Do You Apply Damp Proof Rods? The effectiveness of the DPC, will be dependent on how accurately the damp proof rods are installed. Having said that, to all but the DIY novice, the installation of damp proof rods should not require the services of a professional.

Looking at my front door, there is loads of foam around the side and none in the top in which I can see daylight in the top. I have a new door to be installed in the next few months to eliminate the door being the issue. The coverage rate will vary depending upon the roughness and absorbency of the surface, use as a guide only. Appearance Just wondering what everyone else's thoughts on this is? The floor on the inside, is a concrete floor and does not appear to be wet. As you can see from image from right to left, there is two wet holes, this is where damp rods are, once getting to the corner it still looks damper than the rest..... the cement was scrapped over yesterday so should be fully dry now.
