Dry Rod - Protect from Rising Damp




Rising damp is a form of dampness that occurs, particularly in older buildings, when groundwater rises up through walls, floors and masonry via capillary action, which is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces in opposition to gravity.



The most common visual symptom of rising damp is a clearly defined band of dampness, starting from the floor upwards – often causing paint to flake or wallpaper to peel. However damp walls, caused by rising damp, can also result in a wide range of other symptoms.



Dry Rods create a chemical barrier in the mortar line of the brickwork. This new barrier stops rising damp from rising into the property. Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods have been issued a BBA certificate (no. 97/3633) that confirms they will remain effective for at least 20 years.
