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

Work well. Easy to do once wall has been prepared.

Very effective. Will complete whole of my 1960's bungalow. Not a cheap option and you need a long drill bit. Recommended I've seen a difference in my bathroom condensation reduction. I use a dehumidifier less often.

Used these to treat a rising damp issue. Pretty quick to install. Need a 12mm masonry drill bit to drill the hole in the masonry layer, then use the dryrod hole clearing tool which gets out loads of debris and then slot the rod into place. Easy fit with the 12mm hole, just need to check with drill bit or hole clearing tool that all debris is out at the back as the debris, if crumbly, can block the back of the hole making it impossible to put the rod in all the way. Then just put some mortar over the hole and job done. Best to use gloves as the rods are a little moist, and the instructions do recommend this based on possible irritation from the ingredients. I bought the cutting tool too, which cuts the rods easy, maybe a sharp stanley knife would also do this but the cutter works a treat. Now it is a case of waiting for the chemicals to penetrate the mortar layer but am hopeful from all the online reviews and users that it will do the job once the rods are activated. Really simple job and really pleased. Would buy and use again.

Quality products

Brought these due to a damp problem within a bay window, after letting the wall dry completely. Put these in left a week and then used dryzone plaster. Area dry and no concerns would recommend for sure

Works well can see the wall drying and salts coming out of the brickwork easy to install too I’ve left it a few weeks before I posted this review so I can see the results

excellent

Excellent product, used in a victorian 1906 house. Silicon injection did not work, re-plastering did not work, covering with concrete plaster made the damp wall worse. These rods started to work immediately, and drained the bricks over a meter high with damp.
