DRYROD RISING Damp Treatment system.

This application is easy anyone can do it....

[@umbertogiannini]

if it's a standard victorian wall of 9" (2 courses of brick) how long did you cut the dryrods? that's important i think? i've read, you should allow at least 1 inch each side for the chemical to leak into the mortar

[@DH-tv8qy]

Thanks for the video. Do you know what was the cause of the damp?

[@handymanlondon]

Drainage problem. We took out the stones decorative in the drainage line were the water stocks. And will see in the winter if the problem still excess...

Thank you very much appreciate it @@handymanlondon

[@eastpak2g6]

Any updates how it's held up 3 months later? I know weather has been very dry so probably not best time to see results

[@handymanlondon]

That was May and a Spring. There is no update yet from the owner. I am waiting this winter and will see if it is working. If I never heard from my client meaning it's working. I will update you this winter

[@handymanlondon]

Hey results after the winter are ALL DRY.

[@chriss2410]

Great video, what is the tool you used to clear the mortar from the holes? How effective is this system for stopping the damp issue?

[@eastpak2g6]

It's a dry rod tool, can be bought on ebay

[@handymanlondon]

sorry I've been busy. Dry rod tool 12mm dia. from Amazon. I am waiting for the winter and will see if the owner called me about the result. I treat that wall since May 2022. at the moment no return calls yet. I will let you know this winter.

[@chriss2410]

@@handymanlondon Thank you for your help. I'm going to try the same system for an outhouse with rising damp.

[@handymanlondon]

After the winter the result are ALL DRY. Fantastic!

[@penman1289]

Anyone out there do not put the rods in without gloves, the rods will seriously dry your hands out.

[@birendranathghosh4638]

Where we. Will get this rod & filler?

[@handymanlondon]

You can get on Amazon more cheaper.

[@davep9096]

We need to see the results?

[@handymanlondon]

Sorry, the owner said after the winter, the result are ALL DRY. Fantastic!

[@56WagonWheel]

Be helpful to have a follow up video to see how things are going there.

[@handymanlondon]

Yes, I wish I could come back to the house and see what happen. But at the moment there is no calls from them. I'm still waiting for them.

[@handymanlondon]

After the winter, ALL DRY and FANTASTIC

[@56WagonWheel]

@@handymanlondon hey thanks mate, good to hear

[@stevewoodward7850]

A couple of things....I thought the drilling had to be done in the mortar and not the brick work? Why was the skirting inside the house not taken off as it will probably be wet/damp and damaged, the same goes for the plasterwork inside the house. With all due respect it all looks a bit bodged to me........

[@handymanlondon]

mortar! The job time scale are limited, avoid decorating for the low budget. Outside drilling is the best option. The result after the winter ALL DRY.....
