How DryRod Works


The Dryrod System is the new revolutionary way of introducing chemicals into the masonry. Developed by Safeguard Europe, the creators of the world leading Dryzone Cream system, the chemicals are introduced into the masonry by way of a fibrous rod 12mm in diameter into predrilled 12mm holes at 120mm centres along a continuous mortar course. They use the same capillary action as the offending moisture to penetrate to over a 70mm radius around each hole.

There are numerous advantages to using Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods:

  • The most effective rising damp eradication system on the market — Dryrod alongside Dryzone outperforms all other competitors' systems.
  • Quick and easy to install — The rods are inserted into a predrilled hole making the application cost effective.
  • No wastage — the correct amount of rods needed is easy to calculate and each rod contains the correct amount of water-repellent, guaranteeing no under treating and no wastage, which makes competitive quoting easy to calculate.
  • The treatment is permanent — The active ingredients permeate, and bond with the masonry providing a permanent barrier to rising salt damp hence our 30 year warranty.
  • Works on the wettest walls (even up to 95% saturation) — Independent testing proves that the Dryrod system is effective in both dry and wet walls up to 95% saturation, therefore can be effectively installed all year round.
  • Safest and most environmentally-friendly system — Dryrods are solvent free, non-caustic and odour free. Safe for asthma sufferers and pet friendly! Even bedrooms that have been treated can be used immediately.
