Default Plumbing?

I was watching a TV home makeover show. They were busting up the basement
floor to work on under floor drain pipes. The found some connections that
they called weapers. I expect the jokes will be coming but what's a weaper?

Weepers are connections to the drain tile system around the perimeter
of the foundation. Google "weeper drain" for more info.

As long as you expected a joke -

Weepers are Homeowners who had to pay a union plumber weekend rates to
bust up their basement floor to work on the pipes.

Perhaps they were weeping with joy for the fine work done by a highly
skilled professional who was there for them when they really needed him.
