Title: Game-changing damp solution—clean, effective, and long-lasting The Dryrod Damp Proofing Rods (10 Pack) are a standout solution for tackling rising damp with minimal mess and maximum impact. If you've dealt with traditional damp treatments—liquids, injections, or disruptive drilling—these rods feel like a breath of fresh air. They’re clean, precise, and engineered for long-term results. Installation is straightforward: drill the recommended holes into the mortar line, insert the rods, and let them do the work. No pumping, no leakage, and no waiting around for messy creams to dry. The rods are pre-dosed and self-regulating, which takes the guesswork out of application and ensures consistent coverage. Performance-wise, they’re excellent. Within weeks, I noticed a significant reduction in damp patches and musty odours. The walls began to dry out steadily, and the improvement was visible and measurable. Because the rods create a chemical barrier deep within the masonry, the protection feels robust and enduring. Each pack covers a decent area, and the product is ideal for DIYers and professionals alike. The instructions are clear, and the process is surprisingly quick for such a powerful treatment. If you're serious about resolving rising damp without the hassle of traditional methods, Dryrod is a smart, modern choice. It’s efficient, discreet, and delivers exactly what it promises.

Great Product

I had a problem with rising damp in a rendered concrete and brick foundation to an external concrete and steel stairs. The damp was causing the steel reinforcement inside the stairs to rust, cracking the concrete with the long-term risk of structural failure. I decided to try Dryrods, even though they designed for inserting into mortar lines. I contacted Safeguard via their website for advice and found them amazingly helpful. They gave excellent support from their technical department, sent product samples to test and followed up by email afterwards. The Dryrods are packed in sealed foil containers in a package displaying excellent instructions showing the easy installation. The base of my stairs is about 1.5 metres square; I could only access three sides so I calculated I needed about 30 rods. The holes at the corners didn’t need to be at the recommended 120mm centres because they extend into the base 210mm, so reducing the number required. I first drilled 8mm x 210mm holes into the concrete then opened them to 12mm. Keeping the drill running I removed and reinserted it several times to clear the holes of debris, so I didn’t need the hole clearing tool. The rods pushed in easily in most cases, but they bent easily if a hole was a bit a tight and it jammed. Once bent it was difficult to insert without enlarging the hole slightly. In some places I couldn’t drill to the full depth, so I cut the rods with a Stanley knife. The off-cuts weren’t wasted because I used them in the other holes. When finished I just filled the holes and painted over. You’ll need rubber gloves when handling the rods. Also the rods have an expiry date so don’t be tempted to buy extra for future use. The job was really easy with no mess. You don’t need any special tools, just a hammer drill with a long 12mm drill (and an 8mm starter drill if you’re drilling into concrete). This has stopped the rising damp! We have had heavy rain since and no sign of any damp. An amazing product from a very customer-orientated company. Thoroughly recommended

So easy to use compared to the old method of dpc fluid and injection literally took an hour to do the full back wall of my house

Dampstill rising in wall, so a disappointing purchase

I would echo similar comments with regard to ease of installation, just drill the correct size hole and insert the rod. Very low level DIY skill required as it it goes into the mortar line. Early days yet, but I am very hopeful that the problem is solved

Very pleased with the items

Heb de aanwijzingen opgevolgd, helaas kwam er toch opnieuw optrekkend vocht en daarmee bluisterend stucwerk. Zonde van de moeite achteraf gezien.

Lo tengo puesto unos 7 meses en una parte de la pared,y no ha salido humedad , cierto es que en la misma pared ( separadas por una puerta) no puse y tampoco ha salido humedad,con lo cual creo que funcionan

Fonctionne très bien et facile à utiliser.

Forse la svolta. Ho acquistato una casa “vecchia” e l’ho ristrutturata ma avevo un problema di umidità di risalita in un punto; questo punto era stato trattato in tutti i modi ma tempo un mese ed il muro si scrostava di nuovo e l’umidità risaliva. A luglio 2025, ho provato questa ultima soluzione, fori ed applicazione secondo le indicazioni, trattamento successivo adatto ed a oggi, nessuna comparsa indesiderata. Preciso che il muro trattato era molto limitato quindi ho comprato una confezione da 10. Vedremo nei prossimi mesi ma ad oggi sono davvero soddisfatta

Simple d'emplois, probablement efficace, voire les résultats dans quelques semaines
