Dryzone typically starts working within a few weeks, with the full effect visible after a few months as the wall dries out.
A 600ml cartridge of Dryzone covers approximately 3.3 linear meters of a 9-inch 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.
You will need a drill, a Dryzone applicator gun, and possibly a level to ensure the holes are drilled correctly.
Signs of rising damp include damp patches on walls, peeling wallpaper, a musty smell, and salt deposits on the wall surface.
After applying Dryzone, replaster the wall with a salt-resistant plaster and allow the wall to dry completely.
Dryzone is safe when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment during application.
Check the applicator gun and ensure it is functioning correctly. Make sure the cartridge is properly inserted and not empty.
Ensure the application was done correctly, with adequate coverage. Check for other sources of moisture and address them.
Use the correct drill bit size for the mortar type. Consider using a masonry drill bit.
Dryzone is compatible with most common building materials. Ensure the wall is clean and free of loose debris before application. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results. After the treatment, monitor the walls for any signs of recurring damp and address accordingly.
