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.
