The Dryrod DPC Kit for 6m, 12m, 18m and 24m coverage offers a complete solution for tackling rising damp in masonry. Ideal for homeowners, builders and contractors, this kit ensures quick, simple and mess-free damp-proofing installation.
Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are patented grooved rods carrying a powerful water-repellent material. Inserted into pre-drilled 12mm holes along the mortar lines, these rods diffuse deeply into damp masonry, curing to form an effective barrier against rising damp. Their simple application requires no specialist equipment, making them suitable for both new and old mortar. With consistent dosing and effectiveness in cold conditions, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods provide reliable rising damp treatment for your walls.
Stormdry Waterproof Express Repair Mortar is a semi-flexible, polymer-modified mortar for plugging DPC holes. This ready-mixed mortar is easy to apply after Dryrod application to create a waterproof barrier that prevents rain penetration. Great for sealing cracks and repointing masonry joints.
Good morning,
Thank you for your enquiry.
You can use Dryrods in Stone built houses as long as there is a consistent mortar course to insert the rods into.
If the wall is thicker than the standard 9" then consideration could be given to using the Dryzone DPC Cream instead.
If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to get in touch and let us know.
Kind regards,

On a single chimney if I drilled around bottom of the chimney before it entered roof. Would dry rods work at eliminating damp going further down? Regards David
Hi David,
Thank you for the query. This is not an application that we have tested therefore we do not recommend using Dryrods in this way.
We hope this helps.
which product is best for rising damp - Cream or Dryrods ?
Hi Mr. Gupta,
Thanks for your question! Both products are designed to prevent and stop rising damp. There can be benefits to using one type over the other depending on the exact nature of your project.
Please email us at [email protected] with the technical details of the building you are treating, and we will be able to advise further.
Hello,
Can I insert both dry rods and dry zone cream in the same hole? Since sometimes I made the holes in the brick cells and I wonder whether the rods are really effective.
Thank you for your answer.
Kind regards.
Alain
Hi Alain,
Thanks for your question. There is no benefit to doing this and we wouldn't recommend it.

When using dry rods on 9” external walls, are they inserted from inside the house or outside?
Hi Len,
Thanks for your question.
Internally the chemical DPC should be created in the lowest accessible mortar course above a solid floor, or in the lowest accessible mortar course below the timbers supporting a suspended timber floor - both of which are typically lower than the height that the DPC would be created at in relation to the external ground level.
If the chemical DPC is created from the outside of the wall through to the inside of the wall, or vice versa, it is highly likely that the chemical DPC will be created at an incorrect height which may in turn compromise it's performance.
The solution to this challenge may involve the creation of two separate DPCs at appropriate heights in a solid wall, or that a solution might be identified which involves a level of compromise.
