Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods
The Ultimate Rising Damp Treatment
Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are patented fibre rods that carry a powerful water-repellent material. They are simply inserted into holes drilled at regular intervals along a mortar course. Once inserted, the rods diffuse their water-repellent material along the mortar course, curing to form an effective barrier to rising damp.
They have been scientifically proven to eliminate rising damp even in highly-saturated walls. This performance has also been internationally tested and approved.
- Eliminates rising damp without needing specialist pumps or injection tools
- Simple installation procedure – Just drill, clear and install
- Outperforms competing treatments, even in highly-saturated walls
- 100% active ingredient patented technology
- Extensively tested and internationally approved
Three Simple Steps to a Damp-Free Wall
| | | |
|---|---|---|
1. DrillA row of holes should be drilled at 120 mm intervals along a continuous horizontal mortar course using a 12 mm drill bit. For standard 9″ thick walls, the drill hole depth should be 210 mm. | 2. ClearExcess debris should be cleared from the hole using a Dryrod Hole Clearing Tool or a suitable vacuum cleaner. | 3. InstallInsert a single Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rod into each hole, ensuring that they are recessed approximately 5 mm from the brick face without forcing the rod into the hole. |
Dryrods Deliver the Correct Dose Every Time
Traditional rising damp treatment methods utilise cream or liquid injection. These methods can be prone to operator error leading to under-treatment and DPC failure. Due to their unique patented design, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods deliver the correct dose of active ingredient every time.
Extensively Tested and Internationally Approved
Laboratory testing has proven that Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods out-perform competing treatment methods, even in highly-saturated walls and freezing temperatures. They have also been approved by the British Board of Agrement and the German WTA organization.
100% Active Ingredient for Maximum Water Repellency
It is not possible to infuse 100% pure active ingredient into a traditional Damp-Proofing Cream. Thanks to their unique fibre rods, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are saturated with 100% silane/siloxane. Only the pure active ingredient diffuses into the wall, in a controlled dose that ensures consistent application. Cheaper creams may seem more attractive, but they often only contain around 25%-50% active ingredient. They cannot out-perform Dryrod.

I used these rods about three months ago in Scotland where we get a lot of rain. I used them on an old sandstone building with no damp proofing and the ground water was seeping up the exterior wall and into the house and rotting the floor joists. I drilled a straight line 120 mm apart and a few inches below the interior floor joists all round the house and inserted the rods and filled the holes with the filler supplied. I kept the line even through the sandstone and mortar lines to keep a constant barrier.
The scoop was great for clearing debris.
Within 3 days to a week a could see the ingredients of the rods leeching towards each other on the outer wall.
Three months later I’m back to repair and replace the damaged floor joists and there’s no water or dampness on the interior walls whereas before they were soaking.
I can confirm that this product works..!!
My only problem was that the supplied drill bit head broke three quarters of the way into the job and I had to use a replacement or it would be five stars all round.
Give this a go and save yourself a lot of time and money.
Lost a star because the darned drill bit as supplied was bent totally unusable and had to buy a new one to install the DPC.
Edit to add and yes I did use an SDS drill and I do know that trying to use an SDS bit in a standard chuck can make the bit appear be
Very easy to install. I am 75 and quite able to do this on my own.
This review is after two months. It has stopped the damp with no internal application. Following the manufacturers instructions. Video to com after three months.
Dry rod had a very bad case of rising damp in internal party wall drilled plugged dry rod as manufacturers guidance and within 7 day fully dried out fully recommend this product brillia
Was going to be a five star review. Everything in the box that you need to do a professional job with full instructions and videos When I came to drill the holes the drill was bent which made it difficult to drill,Fortunately I had a slightly smaller drill and just used drill supplied to open holes. Other than that every thing was straightforward My house is about a hundred years old so was not sure on the cause of the damp patch to my outside wall so decided to cover all possibilities fitted new damp course waterproofed outside wall and bought a dehumidifier All seems ok time will tell. Really pleased I found this system on Amazon I thought I would have to get a company in to do the work.
Very easy to use, slightly sceptical regarding buying the full kit with the hole cleaner etc but it’s proved it’s worth. We had a totally damp wall at the front of the house which has now been fully eradicated
Easy to install and provides good damp barrier, good product would buy again.
I’ve waited two years to write this, it 100% works exactly as described, buy the full kit ( the cleaning out tool is essential ) , follow the instructions to the letter , and you will not be dissapointed, worth every penny , as they say , ignore the rest , get the best .
Friend put in the damp rods for us over a month ago for the first two weeks the damp was still there but in the last two weeks no sign of the damp at all I keep looking to see if it has come back but so far the rods are doing what they should.I am just in the process of reordering and going to have the conservatory done as well. Very easy to use especially if there is no plaster to remove as was the case in our porch it leaves a very clean area . Our walls were drilled from outside in the morter one brick higher than the old damp course membrane and we are very pleased with the outcome.
Product was easy to install with items supplied in the ki
Installed as instructed, started to get worried it wasn’t working after testing for a few weeks. Tested today and the walls are finally drying out.
Job in the tow
Paid Extra for the tools, used my new Milwaukee SDS drill and drill bit supplied. Was quick and easy to install. Would recommend this product. Wasn’t cheap but it’s good.
There is no drill in the parcel and I couldnt find information how to contact a seller to tell them about that. I cant say how it is as I’ve just received it but disappointed we can’t start work straight away as there’s no drill.
So easy to install, just follow the directions, drill the holes, insert rods, simple and easy, will use these on the rest of the house!!
Saves a fortune over professional damp proof course. The drill bit could have been better quality. Worth buying a second drill bit for large property as once the drill bit wears smaller the rods are more difficult to insert.
Easy to use fast and efficient delivery..
Can only score on processor installation ,can only see if system works as time will tellnif dampness improves
Great solution for rising damp, easy installation DIY all day long.
This reaction is not instantaneous, so judgement is reserved until I can see the effects of the treatment.
Easy to use ‘ just have to wait to see if they work if they do I will be ordering more
Fantastic product the drill was bent so at to go and get one from a DIY shop
Tried it first on an internal wall and its working, so have now moved to the outside which is damp. It is easy to use.
Great value for money as describled
Outstanding item.. Really effective
Kit easy to use . When you think a general works person would use these when quoted . But easy to use your self
My walls were three bricks solid thickness so needed to drill 13 inches deep, but easy to use cutter to add the extra length sticks required.
Only slight criticism the whole clearer is only 9 inches, for 2 brick walls, should make a longer one for thicker walls.
