Found some areas on a new construction home were the brickwork mortar wasnt exactly great. My concern would be water penetrating these areas in the winter and then possibly becoming a bigger issue. Just wanted others opinions and thoughts and was looking for some good brick informational links.

If I see this type of thing I usually make a comment about it in the exterior siding portion of my report. I do not let it make it to the summary..but it does go to the maint. summary.....
Ditto what WF said....I also mention it verbally to my client if they are present. |

Thats one of those things where if not reported could result in a friend or neighbor of the client producing a $250 repair estimate for later.
I always remember this quote: "You can report it now or pay for it later" I believe a former inspector named Jerry Peck posted that before.

Thats a weep hole vent, much like a plumbing vent it lets air in to the system so the weep hole drain more effectively. Also helps vent Radon gas out of the wall.
