Dryzone Video
The video clips at the right explain how Rising Damp occurs and how Dryzone works to combat it. For your convenience, the video has been divided into chapters. Click on the video clip links under the player to learn more.
The Problem
Whenever Rising Damp is diagnosed, it is important to have the
condition correctly treated, as failure to do so can cause damage and
devaluation to any property.
It is not sufficient to simply cover up the problem with a special paint
or coating in the hope that the problem will go away. Only by
preventing the dampness rising up the wall in the first place can
Rising Dampness be adequately controlled.

Chemical Treatments
Up until now, the most widely employed method of achieving this has
been to inject water-repellent fluids into the wall under pressure.
Although this method has proven to be effective, it is known to have
a number of disadvantages; for example, it introduces large amounts
of liquid carrier into the wall, prolonging the drying out period. The
process is also very slow and operator dependent.

The Dryzone System is fast, clean
and effective
Dryzone is a revolutionary new material for the control of rising
damp. Dryzone comes in the form of a water-repellent cream packed
in a 600ml foil cartridge to minimise environmental impact. The
Dryzone cream is introduced by means of a simple applicator gun
into a series of holes drilled into the mortar course. Once the Dryzone
is installed, it uses the moisture contained in the damp wall to
diffuse where it is most needed before curing to form a waterrepellent
resin.
