I know they work but I’m still waiting for the day that I see evidence of water coming from a weep vent. I’ve also often wondered how they work when cavity wall insulation has been retro-fitted as presumably the area above the cavity tray is filled with material and over time this absorbs the moisture getting through the brick which would have travelled down to the tray and out of the weep vents 🤔
I had a photo of water dripping out of these weep vent within an hour of them being installed. Retrofit cavity insulation can be an issue though if not done correctly.
Probably no , cavity tray or weep holes .. I was looking at a house refurb ... the extension built with concrete blocks as well as cavity wall blocks ... I was Looking & thinking we're are the "airbricks " eg like the old council houses u see everywhere.. Im not convinced with those weep vents .. Where is the old Airbricks "brick not plastic crap..
Air bricks and weep vents are not one and the same, they serve different purposes. Air bricks will be for ventilation and weep vents are to permit water to drain from a cavity.
Wonderful job.
So simple but straight to the crux of the problem. Nice one!
