Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods (Rising Damp & Salt Damage).

Fast, Clean and Effective Damp-Proofing with Dryrod®.

Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods is a state-of-the-art treatment for rising damp. Besides the high level of performance, it is a quicker installation than any other rising damp treatment on the market. Dryrods are 180 mm in length, 12 mm in diameter grooved fibre rods containing a powerful water repellent. The Dryrod delivery system guarantees the correct dose of active ingredient is delivered to the wall every time thereby permanently eradicating rising damp. The rods are inserted into 12 mm pre-drilled holes along the mortar lines of a building. The water-repellent material diffuses deeply into the damp masonry, curing to form a highly effective barrier to damp. This results in a damp-proof course which stops further rising damp from occurring and helps the wall to dry out. 

Dryrod Rods create the best possible barrier to rising damp thereby minimising moisture in the wall, blocking the build-up of ground salts, and reducing heat loss.

Damp-Proofing Rods Features & Benefits:

Dryrod outperforms all tested competitor products like creams, gels or liquids and is the most effective method of rising damp treatment available.
Fast & Simple to Install DIY rising damp treatment, all that is required is to drill holes in a continuous mortar course and insert the required number of damp-proofing rods.
Permanent eradication of rising damp as the active ingredient within the rods spreads through, and bonds with the mortar in a wall, providing a permanent solution to rising damp.

No specialist equipment is required and only standard tools are required.

No chemical mess to clean up as it is conveniently foil-wrapped packaging and a simple installation procedure means no spillages.

Delivers the correct dose every time as each rod is accurately dosed with exactly the correct amount of water-repellent eliminating guesswork.

The High-Performance DPC Treatment is Certified to be effective against the ingress of moisture for at least 20 years.
Proven to work on highly-saturated walls, even up to 95% saturation, tests show that Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods outperform even premium damp-proofing creams at high saturation levels.
It is a low-hazard waterproofing product as Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are solvent-free, odour free and non-caustic.

It is a simple application as all you need to do is just drill and insert the damp proofing rods into the affected wall.
