High-Performance Rising Damp Treatment in Convenient Rod Format Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods offer a fast, clean, and effective way to treat rising damp in masonry walls. Pre-dosed with a powerful silane-based formulation, each rod is inserted into pre-drilled mortar bed holes, where it gradually diffuses into the surrounding masonry to form a reliable chemical damp-proof course (DPC). This patented system ensures maximum performance with no mess, spillage, or need for special tools. The 10-pack is ideal for small to medium-sized rising damp treatment jobs or for repairs and extensions to previously treated areas. Each rod is precisely manufactured to deliver the correct dosage every time, ensuring consistent protection against moisture ingress. Key Features & Benefits Mess-Free Application: No liquids, no pumps – simply insert the rods into drilled holes. Highly Effective: Delivers a controlled release of active ingredient for deep diffusion and long-term protection. BBA Approved: Certified performance for use as a rising damp treatment solution (Certificate No. 97/3363). Precise & Consistent: Each rod is pre-dosed for optimal wall thickness coverage. No Wastage: Use only what you need – ideal for both professionals and DIY users. Product Details Pack Size: 10 rods Rod Dimensions: 12mm diameter × 180mm length Coverage: Treats approx. 1.5–2 linear metres of 9" (215mm) solid wall Formulation: Patented silane/siloxane-based active ingredient Application Tool: 12mm drill bit (no injection equipment needed) Application Instructions Drill Holes: Drill 12mm diameter holes horizontally into the mortar course at 120mm centres. Insert Rods: Push one rod fully into each hole. Trim rods if wall is thinner than 180mm. Seal Holes: Plug each hole with a suitable mortar or sealant once rods are installed. Curing: The rods will release their active ingredient over time, creating a water-repellent barrier. Limitations Do not use in waterlogged or saturated walls. Only suitable for masonry with accessible mortar beds for drilling. Health & Safety Wear gloves and safety eyewear during handling. Store rods in a cool, dry location.
