A cavity-wall weep device 10 for draining water from a cavity 100 of a cavity wall. The cavity-wall weep device 10 comprises a body 12 which defines a conduit 14 having an inlet 16 positionable at or adjacent to the interior of the outer wall and an outlet 18 positionable at or adjacent to the exterior of the outer wall. The conduit 14 narrows from the inlet to increase flow velocity from the inlet and widens towards the outlet to slow flow and prevent spouting. The conduit may have a stepped narrowing and the device may lack internal baffles which would inhibit the venturi effect provided by the narrowing and widening.
