Weep Vents

Weep vents are incorporated into masonry walls to allow any accumulated water that may have infiltrated the wall to drain out.
  
If water gets trapped in walls, it can cause several issues including structural damage and mold.  Fitting weep vents during the building process gives a way of draining this water before materials become damaged.  

These vents should be installed in the mortar joints and according to building regulations.  Weep vents are strategically placed where there is a high risk of water accumulation, for example, above a steel, or where different materials join.  It is important that weep vents remain open and unobstructed to ensure they work correctly.
