Can I use Dryzone on any type of wall?

Dryzone is suitable for most types of walls affected by rising damp. However, it is always recommended to assess the specific wall type and condition.

Do I need any special tools?

You will need a drill, a Dryzone applicator gun, and possibly a level to ensure the holes are drilled correctly.

How do I know if I have rising damp?

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Identify the rising damp issue. Remove any existing skirting boards and plaster to expose the mortar.

  3. Injection: Insert the Dryzone applicator nozzle into each hole and inject the cream until the mortar is saturated.
