To soon to fully rate its effectiveness but already the signs are promising this is our second purchase of this item and the first pack has definitely worked to get rid of the damp that was on our bay window wall. This pack was used in our utility area we used a dehumidifier to first get rid of most of the moisture and then treated the mortar the same as we did before so far the damp has not returned so it’s looking good I would recommend this product but make sure you follow the instructions with regard to drill bit size and hole depth. You can buy it as a kit but as my husband is a very competent diy’er and he has a multitude of tools suitable to use.
Was delivered on time & will be ordering some more as needed to finish off the rest of the house & so far they look like they are working as they should do 5 stars
I used it to cure rising damp in our conservatory easy to install
These are easy to use. I bought a damp meter to measure monthly. After 4 months the readings have halved
I used it to fix the damp around my bungalow
Appears to have resolved a rising damp issue in days.
Easy to use.
Just make sure the drilled holes are well cleared and adaquate to take the dry rod sticks.
If you are installing in 9 inch brickwork make sure you have a drill stop or depth indicator to stop over drilling.
Would i use this product again ? Absolutly already have other areas to install.
My back garden wall has always been damp. After a bit of research, I came across these Dryrod damp-proofing rods so I decided to give them a go.
After watching a youtube video on how to install these, have drilled in the rods into my wall. I’m told you need to wait a few months to see results so will wait and see if they worked or not. I figure for the price it’s worth it.
If you do decide to buy these, make sure you have a powerful drill and also the right drill bit so the rods can slot into the holes you make.
Having purchased a property without a damp course rising damp started to appear. Installing the rods took less than an hour and worked instantly. Very very happy.
Used some of these last year for an old damp wall. The wall is now bone dry from the dryrods course up. Absolute doddle to fit, brilliant, now doing the rest of the house.
Already drying out and only been in for about 3 weeks
I am really giving this a five star review because I trust the marketing. this is the kind of thing that can take a long time to see results, but the product is guaranteed, I think, for 10 years. half our garage and basement are built into the ground (like many basements). the side next to the soil (cinderblock) recently started showing signs of dampness. Maybe it had been there for a while, not sure. However, I saw some mildew and (uh oh) MAYBE some mold, not even sure. But, I added an industrial strength air cleaner with UV light and a very very strong dehumidifier. I also found an incredible mold and mildew removal product that I hadn’t used before ( see here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071V6RLWT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
And, I was able to get rid of all VISIBLE signs of mildew and mold. Just gone– that product is absolutely the best mold and mildew removal product I’ve ever used (I haven’t used MANY, but that works quickly). However, it’s cinderblock and who knows what’s inside the hollow area? I don’t. My mission is to keep this area dry and clean now. So, I found this product and it promises to fix the problem that I was exactly concerned about.
I did drill holes evenly spaced as instructed, and popped these babies in.
I’m still reluctant to stop using the dehumidifier (that fills up in 24 hours), but I’m feeling really good about this product working in the cinderblock hollows. The product, combined with the dehumidifier and air cleaner should really keep the moisture at bay.
Very good product does what it says on the box
100% pleased very easy to install, so far damp smell is not as bad, it same to be working thanks hilary
This is a revised review, had someone check with a damp meter, I am amazed at how quick these have worked on my interior walls, they were installed on 30/5/2021, they are very much value for money, if I could give a 10 i would, if your thinking about buying these rods, dont waste time just do it, they have worked on my house, built in the late 1800, one word, “amazing”,Delivery was quick, I have only just used some of these rods, so its s wait and see if they work, after reading other people reviews, I am optimistic that they will work for me on my house fingers crossed.
These things work. They do just what they say on the box, we could see a difference in the colour of the brick work in only a couple of days. The photos show what we were up against.
Used on a single brick garage wall. Had to cut them in half which is easy with a Stanley knife. So far so good.
I used this product to make a barrier against damp on a outside wall
Very easy to use, just make sure you remove drill debris to aid putting into the wall. And wear gloves. Seems to work straight away.
Stopped damp in a studio, it seems to have worked
Just follow direction it seems to be working the way it should
Had these for other rooms no mess does what it says recommend
Does excactly what it say it does and easy to install just drill wholes insert stick seal job done came fair quick also a few days
Got a friend to fit them for me. He said that they were quick and easy to fit. Time will tell how effective they are but having used them in a previous house I have good expectations.
Combine these rods with the dpc paint at the base of the wall and dryzone cream on the wall. No more damp.
Use disposable gloves when handling.
Great product.
Seems brilliant. Not messy at all and all work on the exterior of the house. Just waiting to see if they solve the problem.
So easy to do. No mess. Did front of 1930’s bungalow. Now done the back. Room smells better too. Hopefully no more problems.
Not sure if it does the job only installed today but fingers crossed watched many a utube video so hopefully all will be good as they say on Utube easy to install but you need a powerful hammer drill but painful on lower back .
Time will tell how effective the product is in the long term but in my case the known damp areas are evidently drying out quickly. To begin with the walls could be seen to sweat out moisture and after perhaps a week become noticably drier… I have high hopes that along with clearing debris from the cavities this product will perform well into the future. I’ve only granted a three star rating for value for money as the future hasn’t arrived here yet!
Did our homework, this is one of the few BBA approved damp treatments. And oh so easy to apply, just need a 12mm drill bit long enough to go all the way through the mortar line (9″ long in most cases)
easy too use only been in wall a week will see
Easy to install with clear instructions where dampness was worst the rods have melted and joined together . Looking good .
Fantastic, good product easy to use , does the job grea
To early to tel but hopefully will be all good
Used in past about 3 years ago. using again in a different property. Follow instructions.
This stuff is amazing. I had rising dampness in various areas of the flat, one area was treated by a specialist contractor which I had done so I could get a mortgage. It cost 4000. Then there was another area which wasn’t noted on the valuation report, so I decided to spend 100 on this stuff and install it myself. 6 month later and the dampness is gone. When I asked the dampness contractors about this stuff, they claimed they has never heard of it.. They also recommended not using it. You will save yourself a lot of money and hassle with this dryrod treatment, I really recommend it!
Used this to damp proof the front of my house. Easy to use, can recommend. I
Came quickly, simple to use – what’s not to like?
My initial internal damp proofing failed (installed 18yrs ago). these have resolved the problem for 99% of the wall. 1 area still damp (a 5 cm strip in a room corner), but it may not be the products fault as I have waterproof concrete to 1 meter high on most of the walls which may still be drying out after 5 months. You may need to strip old plaster off the walls
Not used yet and impossible to say if works at this point . Hope so as not cheap .
installed 12 months ago and seem to be doing the job
Fully installed in a day.
This is a great way to reduce damp easy to install and after 2 weeks I can already see the damp seating out of the brick work.
Time will tell!
It will take several weeks to provide an accurate assessment as the chemicals need to deploy.
Nonetheless, installation was very easy. Therefore, my review is limited to installing the product.
have done the job brilliantly , no more damp on the walls and carpet, can’t rate highly enough
Excellent, easy to use and appears to be soaking into the wall. Only time will tell how well it works.
We have used these on numerous jobs we have carried out, so far so good, but saying that we are still tanking & rendering the brickwork which alone stops the damp, we will continue to use these as we are happy with what we have seen so fa
Excellent product , wish we had found it sooner, quick, easy and far less disruptive than other methods will definately use agai
Easy to use/ install. Best price. Fairly quick delivery. Unsure if the product is working though.
This is a great product and even better that it’s all offered under Amazon Prime, made ordering and delivery so straight forward and meant that we could focus on the main job of sorting the damp issue. Great product and great service – will be recommending!
Think its worked…80yr old property, so no damp proof membrane, damp in corner of kitchen, drilled into black mortar bed, don’t seem to have damp problem…my friend used them as well he drilled into brick he doesn’t have damp problem either, would use again,probably buy cutting tool also next time…
These really work, worth the investment to prevent rising damp.
Easy to use, easy to install, no fuss.
ime will tell if it does the job, but easy to install
We have just put some of these rods in the room wall where we have really bad rising damp. You can see it start to spread round each of the rods within a short time so watch this space
EASY TO USED NO MESS SO FAR WALL DRYING OUT IT WORKS
Easy to install, time will tell if they do what they say on the box as on,y been installed for about 6 weeks.
Very easy to use,I hope it work Because i have ordered one more set to do my let property.
Very quick dispatchements from the seller.
Easy to use ,no mess.simple application.can’t say yet if it works.not had time t o cure.
