Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are a BBA-certified, patented solution designed to combat rising damp with precision-engineered 12mm rods. Offering a clean, fast, and mess-free DIY installation, these rods create a durable waterproof barrier inside mortar lines, outperforming traditional creams and gels.

## Description

Product Description Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods provide a cutting-edge solution for rising damp problems. These patented 12 mm diameter grooved rods carry a potent water-repellent material. Inserted into pre-drilled 12 mm holes along a building's mortar lines, the material forms a highly effective barrier against rising damp and establishes a damp-proof course. This prevents further rising damp and contributes in wall drying. Accredited with BBA approval certificate 97/3363, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods have undergone rigorous independent testing to ensure a reliable solution for low and high porosity mortar, low alkalinity and high alkalinity mortar and lime-based mortar. Other benefits include consistent application, a clean and simple application process and all-weather application capability. Appearance: White, cog-shaped solid fibre rod. Size & Packaging: Pack of 10 rods, each 180 mm in length and 12 mm in diameter. Coverage: For 4.5” thick wall, 42 rods per 10 m are required. For 9” thick wall, 84 rods per 10 m are required. The application involves drilling 12 mm holes along mortar lines, with specific depth and length guidelines provided. For thicker walls or rubble in-fill, Dryzone Damp Proofing Cream is recommended. Once installed, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods typically cure over a month, subject to site conditions. Replastering using a suitable damp-resistant plaster, like Dryzone System Renovation plaster, is crucial for effective wall drying. Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are produced in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality and environmental management systems.

Review: Works well, simple installation. - Work well. Easy to do once wall has been prepared.
Review: Good product. Recommended. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anone used these or an othere product in a stone walled house?**
A: Yes. I have placed the bars in the stone joints every 10 cm and for the moment I am happy.

**Q: Can these be used on cavity walls**
A: Thank you for your enquiry into Safeguard and our Dryrod product.If you have a solid 9" wall, the Dryrod can be inserted from either the inside or the outside, whichever is more convenient.Alternatively, for a cavity wall with two skins of 4.5" brickwork, the Dryrod can be cut (using the Dryrod cutter) to fit this type of wall. You can then insert the Dryrod from both the interior and the exterior.It is important to note that the Dryrod is designed to be inserted directly into the mortar course. We recommend to drill 90% of the way through that particular skin of wall to insert the Dryrod into.I hope this answers your questions but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.Kind regards,Ben BurnsSafeguard Europe Ltd01403 210204

**Q: Will this stain internal painted or plastered walls claimed by a reviewer?**
A: Any staining would indicate that dampness has permeated into the plasterwork. When installing a DPC it is normally recommended by building engineers to remove the plaster up to 1 meter above the DPC as it may be damaged by the ingress of moisture. I think a little staining is a small price to pay in avoiding this expensive and very messy work.

**Q: Can these be used on a cavity wall**
A: I would suggest that these are used on internal walls cavity walls  and internal walls only.  However the manufacturers could provide further guidance. The guidance is available on YouTube
