Question 1

It says pack of 50 so is it one pack or five packs with ten in

Accepted Answer

They come in 5 packs of ten. However Dave people have been reviewing this product without waiting to find out if it works which takes some weeks. I waited after installing in a sound 4 inch wall and can report that it does very little to prevent rising damp ! I’ve had to do it all again and I had much more success with the cream DAMPSOLVE Which created a barrier within a couple of weeks. The rods you are contemplating simply do not contain enough dispersant to impregnate the entire mortar course. Hope this helps

Question 2

My house is not typical brick and mortar, it's boulder slate brick, do I just drill 9 inch or where ever I can hit mortar?

Accepted Answer

These rods prevent rising damp by impregnating the mortar course with a fluid and they consequently need to span the entire depth and length of your wall without gaps. They need to be placed not about half a brick apart at most and if your mortar course is thick I don’t believe they will even be effective at that ! They leech out only a small amount of impregnating fluid and I found theme to be easy to use but poor at damp prevention ! My advice is use the creams such as DAMPCURE which you insert with a mastic gun, really effective, cheaper, and you can always top up the wholes in thick mortar joints !
