ABSTRACT:
A weep hole cover for covering existing weep holes in masonry walls in a manner to permit moisture drainage from and ventilation of the existing weep holes while preventing entry of insects into said weep holes. The weep hole cover includes a top planar sheet sloping downwardly and outwardly from the masonry wall at an acute angle approximating 10 degrees, sidewalls integral with said top planar sheet, each sidewall ending in an outwardly extending flange engageable with the masonry wall, and a bottom planar sheet integral with the top planar sheet and the side walls and having an edge engageable with the masonry wall. The bottom planar sheet has a plurality of pin holes enabling drainage and ventilation while preventing insect entry. The weep hole cover is sealably attached to the masonry wall by silicone adhesive around the perimeter thereof. The cover may be formed of aluminum siding material, or alternatively of molded plastic such as polyethylene, and may be colored to match adjacent portions of the masonry wall.
