A brick veneer wall has a gap (cavity) behind the bricks. This gap collects any rainwater that seeps through the bricks and then drains it out through:
When these parts fail or weren’t installed properly, moisture starts entering your home.

Weep holes allow water to escape.When they become blocked by mortar, dirt, spider nests, paving or render, water becomes trapped and forces its way indoors. What customers usually notice:
If soil, mulch, pavers or decking are built above the weep-hole height, water cannot escape naturally. Why this matters:
Why PVC Flashing?
✔ Fully compatible with water-based membranes
✔ Flexible and adapts to building movement
✔ Aluminium flashing can react negatively with membranes and deform with structural movement
✔ More reliable long-term outcome
