Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Was not having weep holes an issue that was identified and they specified that there was an issue that required their instalment?

Or was it purely an observation they made, and no specific recommendation was made?

If there was a specific issue requiring them to be installed, it is likely possible, however, I would advise you to contact a builder for their recommendations before doing so. A pest control specialist is unlikely to have the construction knowledge to make this determination, whereas a licenced builder specialising in brick homes will.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi @daisy4,

If that is the case, I wouldn't worry about it.

It was probably included in the report as weep holes are often an entry point for termites and rodents.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
