So on the exterior top window are weep holes and when on the inside bottomed windows are inside weep holes. I have never seen this as you don’t want water draining inside your home. Any thoughts. I’ve even looked at window websites and they talk about weep holes on exteriors.
Hi, Jeff.
Never seen that before.
#1: I do not feel that is a matching inner window casing.
#2: The sashes are not aligned. The left sash reveal is larger than the right sash reveal.
#3: Caulking residue.
#4: Weep holes on the inside case.
Yeah. It was four different windows and two were of different sizes but definitely shouldn’t have the weep holes inside for sure. Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
You know the window manufacturer? There is printing on the weep hope caps.
I do not but will check. I’m seeing if I have a closer photo
That is odd for sure. Me thinks someone goofed up. Do you have a picture of the exterior of the window(s)?
There probably won’t be any moisture draining to the inside, but my question is whether the outside is “weathertight.”
Open the window and look at the sill at the bottom. Often, there are holes at the corners that allow water that hit the sill to drain into the built-in cavity below. The cavity then has the weep holes you see on the bottom to let the water out…that’s how it’s supposed to work anyway. If window is indeed installed backwards, water is going to weep into the house…

Just installed completly wrong. The weeps must be on the exterior of the window. My SWAG is that the frames were installed first and for who knows why the window units installed later and moodifed to fit and lock.
Thats funny, and definitely wrong.
Any pictures of the outside of the window. Maybe showing where they patched the hardware mount holes.
