Dryzone is now the fastest growing method of eradicating Rising Damp in Australia with successful treatments being carried out nationally each week by Damp Busters Australia. On top of this an increasing number of clients are taking advantage of our DIY system which is by far the cleanest and simplest on the market. Being a water based cream and completely non toxic, Dryzone is safe and completely error proof to apply.
Dryzone. Fast, Clean, Effective & Safe
Fast
Dryzone can be injected two to three times faster than ordinary liquid injection fluids. Treatment can therefore be completed earlier, minimising disruption to the householder.Clean
Dryzone is not injected under pressure. The risk of fluid leaking into neighbouring rooms or properties and causing damage is therefore virtually eliminated. Dryzone does not contain any hydrocarbon solvents, so has very little smell.
Effective
Dryzone is the result of an extensive in-house research and development programme. This involved the screening and testing of hundreds of potential formulations. These tests demonstrate that Dryzone offers a higher degree of protection against rising damp than the chemical injection systems that it was designed to replace.
Safe
Traditional chemical injection systems, have (prior to the conception of creams) been carried out by introducing silicones into the wall via a paraffin based carrier which have recently proven to be dangerous with a house being demolished by an explosion in South Australia due to poor safety procedures by the installer (see attached link for report in the Adelaide Advertiser here) Dryzone contains no volatile chemicals and is completely safe.
"Rising Damp" and/or "Salt Damp".
The Symptoms...
Flaking paint, bubbling plaster, crumbling bricks, stonework and mortar and/or timber decay and a musty odour are among the most common symptoms of rising salt damp.
Rising Salt Damp...
Rising salt damp is caused by the same natural capillary action by which plants absorb moisture into their stems from the soil beneath.
So whenever there are moisture absorbent materials such as bricks, mortar or external renders in contact with the ground then the moisture will naturally rise through them unless there is a barrier in the form of a damp proof course. This dampness will continue to rise in the walls unless checked, bringing with it liquid salt particles which can cause major damage if not treated.
The Effects...
As the moisture in the wall evaporates upon exposure to changing temperature conditions, the liquid salt particles crystallise and expand leaving salt crystals on the surface. This micro explosion in the substrate starts to create damage to the structure of the wall. The problem is compounded when these salt crystals attract atmospheric moisture which perpetuates the damage cycle.
Often there is no visual evidence of the damage being done and an inspection by our consultant with a moisture meter is the only way to know whether there is a problem or not.
The visual signs, when evident, are discolouration or blistering of internal plaster and paint. Externally crumbling of mortar and brick/stone work at ground level is evidenced.
Any salt damp, like a cancer in humans, will do less damage to the structure of the building if treated in its infancy.
Failure to treat the problem properly can result in a house that is unpleasant to live in and difficult to sell, therefore it is important to choose an effective method of treatment.
The Cover-up...
It can be tempting to try and cover up any damp patches with a special paint or coating in the hope that the problem will go away. However, the dampness will often find a way round such coatings and reappear at a later date. Only by introducing a damp proof course can rising salt damp be properly controlled.
The Solution
Use an authorized applicator of Dryzone, such as Summit Coatings.
Although it costs more for us to buy than ordinary liquid solvent injection fluids, because it is installed quicker than the solvent injection systems, the benefit of a less disruptive treatment saves on labour costs. The end result is that you save $$$$$$$$$$
We are confident we offer a better quality product at the most competetive price. Value for money is guaranteed.
