I have placed the bars in the stone joints every 10 cm and for the moment I am happy. **Q: Can these be used on cavity walls** A: Thank you for your enquiry into Safeguard and our Dryrod product.If you have a solid 9" wall, the Dryrod can be inserted from either the inside or the outside, whichever is more convenient.Alternatively, for a cavity wall with two skins of 4.5" brickwork, the Dryrod can be cut (using the Dryrod cutter) to fit this type of wall. You can then insert the Dryrod from both the interior and the exterior.It is important to note that the Dryrod is designed to be inserted directly into the mortar course. We recommend to drill 90% of the way through that particular skin of wall to insert the Dryrod into.I hope this answers your questions but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.Kind regards,Ben BurnsSafeguard Europe Ltd01403 210204 **Q: Will this stain internal painted or plastered walls claimed by a reviewer?** A: Any staining would indicate that dampness has permeated into the plasterwork. When installing a DPC it is normally recommended by building engineers to remove the plaster up to 1 meter above the DPC as it may be damaged by the ingress of moisture. I think a little staining is a small price to pay in avoiding this expensive and very messy work. **Q: Can these be used on a cavity wall** A: I would suggest that these are used on internal walls cavity walls and internal walls only. However the manufacturers could provide further guidance.

Just drill, insert, done. BBA-approved, and covers a good 6 metres. Already seeing the damp fade. Great product! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for dealing with damp walls. Not instantaneous but does a great job *by M***D on 1 June 2026* Really easy to install but large bit required. You would need a corded drill really. I used my SRS drill. Did the whole job in less than an hour. Ideally for internal damp roofing but can be used externally as I did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works *by M***Y on 18 June 2015* I bought this pack a couple of months ago. I had rising damp in both external and internal walls, most of which had already been treated at some time in the past, and re-rendered with sand & cement. I suspect that part of the problem was that in many places, the render had been applied right down to the quarry tile floor, which is a bad idea. I knocked off the first four inches of plaster/render everywhere, which exposed the lowest mortar bed. I firstly chopped all the rods in half, to suit the required depth for single-brick walls and drilled the holes in the mortar bed to the required depth. The sticks don't slide in easily, due to the ribs on them, but clearly that's intention and keeps them firmly in place. Some of them stuck out a little, but it doesn't seem to matter. All in all, it was a very quick process with no mess, (other than the mortar that was drilled out), and no waste. A couple of months on, the whole house has been re-skimmed and the walls are 100% dry. It is possibly a more expensive solution than the cream, but when the lack of waste is factored in, there's probably nothing in it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dryrod Damp Proofing Rods - Next Generation Rising Damp Treatment (50 Pack) - Dryrod SDS Drill Bit - 0.4724" (12mm) Diameter x 11.811"(300mm) Length.
