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.

I am very happy with the Dryrod System as a first time user. They were easy to insert with no mess - except for the removal of the plaster in preparation. The drill bit supplied was long lasting and the debris removal tool proved very effective

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.

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
