Flashing and weep holes.
Home built in 1994 and I only have code books back to 97. All brick home. Block and brick foundation, 2x6 treated sill and conventional wood framing with celotex fiber 4x8 wall sheathing. There are weep holes right above the foundation wall where the framing starts. There is no flashing along the foundation only fiber board brought to the bottom of the sill. No moisture barrier except the fiber board panels on the home. I know the flashings where not there from checking at foundations vents in the crawl space. I could slide my hand up between the framing and veneer.
Was it required to have flashings back in 94. Also when was flashing first introduced in these areas.
