FAQs

How long do Dryrod rods take to work?

The active ingredient will permeate the brickwork within a few weeks, with noticeable improvements in dampness levels typically appearing within a month or two.

How long will the treatment last?

Dryrod is BBA Approved and is certified to be effective against moisture ingress for at least 20 years.

Can Dryrod be used on all types of walls?

Dryrod can be used on most common building materials, including brick, stone, and concrete. However, proper diagnosis of the damp issue is still essential.

What is the coverage of one pack of Dryrod?

Each pack covers approximately 3.6 meters of a 9" wall.

Do I need any special tools to apply Dryrod?

No specialist equipment is required. You will need a 12mm drill bit and a drill.

Is Dryrod safe to use?

Yes, Dryrod is safe to use when following the instructions. Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as eye protection, when drilling.

What if I get the rods wet before installation?

Ensure the rods are dry before inserting them. While moisture won't render them completely ineffective, best results are achieved when they are dry.

Troubleshooting

Dampness persists after treatment.

Ensure correct application (hole spacing and depth). Confirm the rising damp diagnosis and eliminate any other sources of moisture.

Difficulty inserting rods.

Clear any debris from the holes and ensure the holes are drilled to the correct depth and diameter. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the rods in.

Surface residue appears.

Wipe away any excess residue with a clean cloth. This is normal and will disappear over time.

Pros and Cons

  • Requires careful measurement and spacing of holes for correct application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the mortar lines where the damp proof course (DPC) is required.
  2. Drill 12mm diameter holes horizontally into the mortar joints. The holes should be spaced approximately 120mm apart.
  3. Insert the Dryrod rods into the drilled holes until they are flush with the surface.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most common building materials, including brick, stone, and concrete.
  • Ensure compatibility with any existing damp proofing systems.

Care:

  • Avoid drilling through the rods once installed.
  • Ensure that any external ground levels are at least 150mm below the DPC level to prevent bridging.
