I’m interest to know how you can you tell the difference between a weep hole and missing mortar between the bricks?

We have several yellow jackets building a nest and I think they got in through a crack in the mortar.

Thanks,
Josh

Any knowledgeable contractor will use the right kind of material so a homeowner doesn’t have to come back and use a screen, but never assume

Also weep holes exist in most shower bases, make sure the rookie plumber doesn’t caulk over the holes… leads to water being trapped and could cause major damage in a short period of time. ie: mold driven subfloor that has to be ripped out.
