Dryrod Damp Proofing Rods (50 Pack) - BBA-Approved Rising Damp Treatment, Stronger Than DPC Injection Creams. Coverage 6m

Product Information

After clearing any debris that remains from the hole, install the 180mm rod. This is the exact size necessary to correctly treat a conventional 9” wall. Should the wall be thinner, simply cut the rod down so that it is 10mm shorter than the total depth of the hole. 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 active-ingredient and water repellent contained within each rod, carefully spreads the correct dosage into the wall. As a result, when it bonds with the mortar, a lasting solution to the problem of rising damp is delivered. What Conditions Can You Use Damp Proof Rods In? The good news is that damp proof rods can be installed in pretty much all conditions. Even with heavily saturated walls (as much as 95%), damp proof rods will be effective.

For the confident DIY enthusiast, installing damp proof rods should not present any real problems. However, it is important to remember that any DIY damp proofing project comes with a caveat. 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 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. Also bear in mind that 1. The wall will never completely dry no matter what you do, and 2. It will take multiple annual cycles to dry out and find a new equilibrium with a lower moisture level, assuming your remedial treatments are successful.

Dryshield Cream Properties

The active ingredient contained within the rods spreads through, and bonds with, sand;cement mortar. Any continuous mortar line that has been properly treated with Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods becomes a damp-proof course. Due to the unique formulation of active ingredient allowed by the design of the rods, a Dryrod treatment is over 4 times more effective than the next best treatment method. How Dryrod is Applied No specialist equipment required - simply insert into 12mm holes in the mortar lines of a building to form a powerful waterproof barrier Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods Next Generation DPC - The most effective form of damp proofing for walls; outperforms creams, gels or liquids. The coverage rate will vary depending upon the roughness and absorbency of the surface, use as a guide only. Appearance 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.

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? BBA Approved – The High-Performance DPC Treatment is Certified by the British Board of Agrément to be effective against the ingress of moisture for at least 20 yearsFast & 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. 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. 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.
