Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods eradicate rising damp without the need for specialised tools. Safeguard Europe’s uniquely designed fibre rods are easy to use, eliminating the problems with liquid-based DPC by delivering the correct dosage every time with minimal mess and maximum efficacy.
Once installed, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods treat damp walls with a 100% active ingredient that has been scientifically proven to outperform competing Damp Proof Courses.
Approved by the British Board of Agrèment and the German WTA, Dryrod always delivers the exact dose needed to fully dry out alkaline, neutral and even highly porous mortar walls.
BBA testing found Dryrod highly effective especially in older masonry, cavity walls, rubble infill, random stone and single skin walls. Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods have been certified as effective against rising damp for up to 20 years after installation.
Once cured, the water repellent material seeps into the wall to form a highly effective barrier to damp. Not only does this fully dry out the damp wall, it stops rising damp from setting back in.
Safeguard Europe’s patented rods carry a powerful water repellent for a mess-free application in just 3 simple steps. Simply Drill into the mortar course with a Dryzone System drill bit. Clear debris from each hole with the simple-to-use Dryrod Hole Clearing Tool. Install by simply pushing a Dry rod into each cavity.
Dryrod Damp-Proofing rods will remove damp from even the most saturated walls by releasing silane concentrate throughout the mortar to dry out the wall and establish a barrier to rising damp. This solution is non caustic, non-flammable and solvent-free, giving you peace of mind throughout the process.
Dryrod Damp-Proofing rods are available in packs of 10 and 50, for 1.2 and 6 metre coverage. Each Damp-proofing Rod comes in a handy 180mm length that can be cut to size with a Dryrod Cutting Tool, ensuring you always have the right length for your wall.
For walls thicker than 9”, multiple rods can be combined. Dryrod can even be installed in cold conditions, offering an all-weather solution to rising damp.
The British Board of Agrèment and the German WTA have certified Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods as effective against the ingress of moisture for up to 20 years. Safeguard Europe’s patented Dryrods offers you piece of mind with an effective and rigorously tested Damp Proof Course that stops rising damp in its tracks.
Renovate and protect your home and properties with Dryrod: The Next Generation of Damp Proof Course.
Mark your drill bit to the appropriate depth for the wall you wish to treat. A Dryzone 12 mm Drill Bit is recommended for enhanced debris removal.
Set your SDS drill to rotary hammer mode and attach the suitably marked drill bit.
Identify the lowest horizontal mortar course that is accessible and continuous. Drill holes to the full recommended depth, at regular 120 mm intervals along the wall. As the drill bit approaches the final 40 mm of the intended hole depth, make sure to reduce the pressure you are putting on the drill. Excessive drilling pressure on the rotary hammer setting can result in damage to the far side of the wall.
If debris obstructs the insertion of the damp-proofing rods, the Dryrod Hole-Clearing Tool can be used to ensure the hole is completely clear.
A standard Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rod is 180 mm in length, which is the exact length required to treat a standard 9″ wall. If the wall is thinner than 9″ then cut the rods down until they are 10 mm shorter than the length of the hole. If the wall is thicker than 9″, cut a second rod down until its length is 10 mm less than the excess left after inserting one whole rod.
Fully insert the rods into each hole, ensuring that the rods are recessed approximately 5 mm from the brick face, taking care not to compress the rods against the back of the holes.
Insert delivery tube of the applicator to the full depth of the pre-drilled hole. Squeeze the gun trigger and back-fill each hole fully with Dryzone Cream to within one centimetre of the hole opening.
