FAQs

How long does Dryrod take to work?

Results can typically be seen within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the severity of the damp and the drying conditions.

Can I use Dryrod on any type of wall?

Dryrod is compatible with most common building materials, but it's always best to test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the shelf life of Dryrod?

Dryrod rods have a long shelf life when stored in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.

Do I need to replaster after using Dryrod?

Yes, it is recommended to replaster with a damp-proof plaster after using Dryrod. The old plaster will be contaminated with salts and should be replaced.

How many rods do I need?

The number of rods needed depends on the length of the wall being treated. Refer to the product packaging or instructions for detailed guidance.

Can I paint over Dryrod?

Yes, you can paint over the treated walls once they are completely dry and replastered with a damp-proof plaster.

Troubleshooting

Dampness persists after installation.

Ensure proper installation, including correct hole spacing and rod insertion. Check for any missed areas and consider re-treatment if necessary.

Difficulty inserting rods into the holes.

Make sure holes are clean and free of debris. Use a slightly smaller drill bit if needed. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the rods into place.

Appearance of efflorescence after treatment.

Efflorescence is normal. Brush it away once the wall is dry. If it persists, ensure adequate ventilation and allow ample drying time.
