weep hole
Wall moisture outlet
A weep hole is a small opening in a wall, window frame, or retaining structure that allows moisture to drain out.
Without weep holes, water trapped behind masonry or in window tracks would cause damage over time.
The inspector noted that several weep holes in the brick facade were clogged with debris.
