DryrodDamp Proofing Rods - Next Generation Rising Damp Treatment (10 Pack)

Very easy solution to an annoying problem 👍

I am really giving this a five star review because I trust the marketing. this is the kind of thing that can take a long time to see results, but the product is guaranteed, I think, for 10 years. half our garage and basement are built into the ground (like many basements). the side next to the soil (cinderblock) recently started showing signs of dampness. Maybe it had been there for a while, not sure. However, I saw some mildew and (uh oh) MAYBE some mold, not even sure. But, I added an industrial strength air cleaner with UV light and a very very strong dehumidifier. I also found an incredible mold and mildew removal product that I hadn't used before ( see here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071V6RLWT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)And, I was able to get rid of all VISIBLE signs of mildew and mold. Just gone-- that product is absolutely the best mold and mildew removal product I've ever used (I haven't used MANY, but that works quickly). However, it's cinderblock and who knows what's inside the hollow area? I don't. My mission is to keep this area dry and clean now. So, I found this product and it promises to fix the problem that I was exactly concerned about.I did drill holes evenly spaced as instructed, and popped these babies in.I'm still reluctant to stop using the dehumidifier (that fills up in 24 hours), but I'm feeling really good about this product working in the cinderblock hollows. The product, combined with the dehumidifier and air cleaner should really keep the moisture at bay.
