Question 1

is this item easy to use

Accepted Answer

yes, just drill hole to correct length in the mortar course, cut rod to correct length if necessary (I used a hacksaw and had to cut the rods as the wall was only one brick thick) and push it into the hole.  Instructions are on their website and on the packet. Very easy.

Question 2

Do you install these on the internal walls or external or both as traditionally you inject from both sides when damp proofing?

Accepted Answer

Good morning,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

Question 3

Will these work in a wooden log cabin wall?

Accepted Answer

I'd use, a waterproofing compound paint, containing fibre for this job..
Or the black rubbery paint, for flat roofs. Or indeed, a really good wood rot protection paint, or sealer...
👍

Question 4

Can I drill into the external render for a double 9" brick wall where I cant see mortar line. So directly in brick behind external render

Accepted Answer

Yes it shouldn’t be a problem if you’re not exactly on the mortar line.
