Weep Holes Are a Feature, Not a Flaw
Weep Holes: Small Openings, Big Job
If you've ever looked closely at the bottom of a window frame here in Nashville, you may have noticed small slots or openings along the sill. Those are weep holes — and they are there by design.
Windows are not meant to be 100% watertight. Wind-driven rain (and we get plenty of it in Middle Tennessee) pushes moisture past the outer seals and into the sill track. Weep holes give that water a clear path back out to the exterior, before it has a chance to sit, soak into the frame, or migrate into the wall cavity behind your window.
