FAQs

How long do Dryrod Rods last?

Dryrod Rods provide long-term protection against rising damp. The active ingredient will continue to protect the wall for many years.

How many rods do I need?

The number of rods required depends on the length and thickness of the wall. Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.

Can I use Dryrod Rods on any type of wall?

Dryrod Rods are suitable for most brick and stone walls affected by rising damp. They may not be suitable for all types of construction or for dealing with other types of damp.

How do I know if the rods are working?

Monitor the treated area for signs of improvement, such as drying plaster and reduced damp readings. It may take several weeks or months to see full results.

Do I need a professional to install Dryrod Rods?

While Dryrod Rods are designed for ease of use, professional installation is recommended for severe damp problems or if you are unfamiliar with damp-proofing techniques.

What is the active ingredient in Dryrod Rods?

The active ingredient is 100 percent pure silane/siloxane.

What is the shelf life of Dryrod Rods?

Dryrod Rods have a long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Dampness persists after treatment.

Ensure rods were installed correctly and that all affected areas were treated. Consider if the dampness could be from another source (e.g., penetrating damp). Consult a professional if the issue continues.

Difficulty inserting rods into the holes.

Check the hole diameter matches the rod size, and clear any debris from the holes. Use a hammer gently if needed.

Cracking of the sealant after installation.

Use a flexible sealant that can accommodate building movement. Re-seal the holes as necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Identify the area affected by rising damp. Remove any existing plaster or render down to the brickwork.
Drilling: Drill holes horizontally into the mortar course, following the manufacturer's spacing guidelines. Use the correct drill bit size, as specified.
Insertion: Insert the Dryrod rods into the drilled holes. Ensure they are fully inserted.
Sealing: Seal the holes with a suitable mortar or sealant.
Re-Plastering: Allow the wall to dry completely before replastering using a breathable render system.

Dryrod rods are compatible with most common building materials. Ensure that the materials used for replastering and sealing are compatible with the active ingredient. No specific care is required after installation, but monitor for any signs of recurring damp and address promptly.
