I can't believe what I'm watching here😂
would you recommend to drill it in internally, or do it from the outside?
would you recommend to drill it in internally, or do it from the outside?
Hi ,if I understand correctly this kit is used internally after removal of skirting and old plaster . I would be interested to hear what others think. Thanks
You don’t know much do you?.
Please tell us if this worked.
Any update? Did it cure the damp then?
waste of time this, sorry to say but these treatments are sales man’s wet dream. You should already have a damp course on your cavity wall house. may be it’s below the concrete path and it’s being bridged, never butt concrete up to the house. High ground level, bad gutters, blocker backing up drains and leaking underground water supplies are the things to look for. Prevention is better than cure. Cavity could also be full of crap, so a few bricks out and clear the cavity.
Hi mate Thanks for sharing video. Can you please tell me if it sorted out the rising damp. I have a similar problem and wonder if this is a good solution. Cheers
Chemical damp industry is a con! And this achieves nothing
You just add the alcohol to container 91% for best results.
Hi I've watched this video very educational thanks, i can't find the other one showing the job once completed the one you said you was going to do next.
Used these , three months on, the rods look just the same, the mortar in my wall is still reading 33% on my meter, ( and this is in the summer months ) which is the maximum it will go to. I think I have been conned, big time. Thank god I only did a 10 foot interior wall, as a test before doing the whole house.
might be penetrating damp or ingress instead of rising mate
Great job. Admire your patients!
My dear friend, the alcohol must be poured directly into the container of the drawer and it does not need a separate burner, as you tried.
You dont use them with a trangia. you put ethanol or alcohol blocks in the bowl reservior and control the flame with the sliding lever. They are used in restarents, bars, cafes, hotels all over the world. And are rightly considered the best stoves out there now the Origos boat/tent/ice fishing heaters are dead with a heater attachment. With a stainless steel gas camping cooker heat exchanger add on you can use them as a safe hot tent or van heater as they give off CO2 rather than CO. As these are now about £8 to £15 on Ali and are going for up to a mad £40+ on some UK catering sites you have a bargain.
Probably why it didn't fit then lol, I must have got it on offer it's gone up to £11.97. I'll have to get some tablets for it, that's if I use it lol.
I hiked all 2,650 miles of the PCT using a Trangia stove. I loved it! They are great stoves, and very simple. You can add water to the fuel to lower the burning temperature for simmering.. I usually add about a water bottle capful.
My friend, CO2 is the sign of carbon dioxide, it can cause death in a closed space, but also in a tent without ventilation! Ventilation must be ensured when using the device.
Properly shite 😂
Hi Sir, I need to course damp proofing
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. What’s your thoughts on the gun sikamur injectacream 100?
SOUND MATE THANK YOU 👍
I used a vacuum nozzle to suck the dust out.
Hi did it work ? Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this video. I'm looking at getting this done soon as the main living room on the ground has notieable 'Rising Damp'.
What’s the cleaning tool called thanks
Dryrod hole cleaning tool £19.99 on amazon not sure if that's the cheapest one, did a screenshot but don't know how to put it on here lol.
I have the stove and the liter bottle. Nice items.. nice video
Think it's the best one I've got, so easy to use. Cheers 🍻
I was told if the battery is flashing the volts are wrong. 12 or 24. Not sure how to get into settings. Ill see if i can find out
Yep managed to get to change, voltage by going into the "secret settings", the code was 9009 not 1688. Bought new one and plan to swap parts as changing the voltage still didn't work 😒
@@amateurlifers9797 my sheet says your code says open circuit or pump failure. Im not sure all these codes are for everyone or not. Mines a 5kw portable in red
@@greasedmonkey7571 hi been on the facebook cdh sites, they were saying it's the battery, so I've bought a adapter to go from 240v to 12v, even though the new all in one cdh works on battery, so next is to try and get it working on that will let you know. As for the pump, its definitely pumping/priming the fuel to the cdh, but when i press start nothing happens lol.
@@amateurlifers9797 i hope you can get it going
Thanks for video I'm planning to do soon much appreciated with instruction not sure if I still need to take plaster off from inside to do the same or will be enough to do it from out side how was the affect did this product did well ?? thanks you so much
Great vid
Try 1234
Managed to get into settings with 9009, but still not working, ended up buying a new one lol. Might swap bits about to see what's broken on old one.
Dust looks fairly dry tbh.
If your running a longer distance then before, you may be suffering from voltage drop.
Using original wires, managed to get into settings with 9009 but still not working. Ended up buying a new one lol.
@Amateur Lifers 9009 worked for me too. How and why i have no idea. Did your new unit work out the issue
Locked out too, im almost positive it happend when i messed with the settings.
Found out there are different codes mine was 9009, bought a all in one from ebay and that one was 1688 before the prices went silly lol, hopefully going to try to figure out what has gone wrong with old one, by swapping the parts around with new one. I was using the wiring that came with heater but now got 240v adapter so that should sort out the power part.
ext ground level is to high
Hi its been like that since 1998, problems started about 2004, council did lots of work to house including swapping coal to gas 2005, and then it was ok for a while. We bought the house and it came back thats when I decided to try out the dryrods.
Hello Buddy it looks like you have a Bridged Cavity possibly caused by the bricking up of a door opening so the right hand side of that is very damp?
this man could make sex with the most beautiful woman in the world look boring.....
I'd maybe look for other sources damp, ie condensation. Raised external ground levels. Blocked drains/broken drains. Inadequate rainwater disposal. Blocked or missing sub floor air vents. Modern plastic paints. Cement renders. Gypsum plastic. ..... to name a few
Oh yeah. Your house is gonna be dry as a bone now! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I block menu too :-(
Found out that the code was 9009 for mine, but changing it from 24v to 12v still hasn't helped so I ordered new heater lol.
Hi all I plan on doing a follow up video next month (time off at work lol) on how it has worked, I will be showing why I did it this way and what some comments have been like good and bad. And what if any my plans are next. THIS IS NOT A HOW TO, OR SPONSORED VIDEO, AS MOST OF YOU CAN TELL IT'S AN AMATEUR VIDEO ( SOME CAN'T TRUST ME LOL) Sorry for shouting but some need to get it through to their brains, that I am trying to stop damp in my house and I have never done anything like this before. Thanks for reading my bit of a rant see you in December.
Please show the plaster inside your house to see if it has dried. Also did you have to replaster or was it ok to paint over? Thanks for the video, very helpful.
Looking fwd to this as just about measure up for my house.👍
Hi again due to some setbacks the update will be soon, was hoping for end of last month but work and family life has got in the way, including being a grandad for the first time to an impatient boy who decided to come out 14 weeks early, so as you can imagine rather time consuming.
Is this recommended if I have issue in box room upstairs. Also hiw do I gauge where to drill if my outside walls are rendered a d cannot see mortar lines
Same issue here. I will knock off the mortar to expose the bricks if I have to :)
@@ukgardener973 I'm starting mine tomorrow
Good useful 'how to' on these rods. Im a bit worried for you though, you are puffung like a trooper through the video? 😕
Killed my knees lol it's the getting up that knackered me lol
I was thinking of having a go with this myself as i had loads of damp walls in my bungalow, however as it needed treated from the inside, there was loads of plastering etc so i got a company in to do it. I had a few good convos with the guys doing it, one thing they did tell me....if the damp on your walls inside the home is above 1 meter, then chances are its not rising damp, as the weight of the water rising against gravity does not travel higher than 1 meter. I had 8 internal walls treated, that was the plaster taken off to 1 meter, the injection damp proof, and then a membrane along the wall followed by new boards and plaster. They also told me that the injection / rods were only around 30% effective in their experience, and really its the membrane on the walls that stops anything coming back through. Not that I have a clue about damp, just thought i'd relay the information in case it can help someone. Anyway, great video mate, very helpful to anyone thinking of having a go.
Thanks mate cheers
Has the damp been cured?
Yeah they would say they are only 30% effective as it puts them out of a job if people can do it themselves
Save your money it’s a con and achieves nothing f
Ehup! Whats it like a year on, has the damp been cured?
What a load of crap, look for the problem not the con artist that sells damp products.
These things really achieve nothing Damp proofing is never needed it’s generally very simple causes!
Any updates on its efficiency after a year?
I think it has worked, the damp seems to have gone, in the bedroom above and kitchen wall also, the walls feel warmer and the next thing to do is the plaster on the wall. I think the main test will be this winter to see if the barrier of damp proof is still there. We've had a lot of sun on it so the wall should be completely dry now so this winter I'll have to give it a check to make sure. Thanks for the comment 👍
Grate job. Also would like to see any diffence over this winter as no videos on CZcams after when dry rods been installed. I guess you will have another 17K views. 👍👍👍😉
😄 𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈M
Can u send me your contact mo no pls
Similar to the X stand you have is the Toaks 6 plate version. File V notches in the top of the burner holder to register the X pieces more positively. There is a good vidio on CZcams showing a conversion to make the Mini (28) into the same format as the 27 & 25, which I shall attempt later. Thanks for sharing Take care
I did a mod on it, on video, with wire straight across them so my Stanley set could fit on it. works great for it.
Hey, thinking of doing this myself, how has it held up over the winter months? Noticed any improvement?
Hi, yes had a big drop in the coldness of the wall especially in the bedroom above, was getting lots of damp in there but now it's almost gone. It was quite easy to do it after all the measurements where done, glad I used the tape to mark it up beforehand. Hope it goes well for you. Thanks Adam.
