Is there a hidden agenda behind the pause in deck construction, perhaps related to state regulations or government scrutiny?

Had to pause my deck project to focus on something more pressing. (Hint: it’s related to where I live)
You’ve gotta be in either Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. Running traps is a no-go in all other places. That’s quite an odd rule… but nice job regardless.
I was just thinking, , I will never get the purpose of house traps. Good thing we don’t have to deal with them in Ohio.
Michael, it’s still allowed in NY, even though it was the first state to prohibit it. California usually leads the way in these bans 🤦♂️
Hey, why is it banned in other places but not here, ?
Because of the code
I get coding, but what’s the deal with external traps?
Because it’s not really needed and doesn’t serve a purpose.
I’m curious, why is there a trap outside in the main area? This is new to me.
Hey Ryan! Have you heard about the Pennsylvania code?
Hey Ryan! I was actually thinking about the same thing. I’m really curious about the engineering reason that code would need it. Also, I’m wondering how they prevent it from freezing up and potentially blowing to pieces. And do you know how often it gets caked in solids and requires clean outs? Does your municipality hold you responsible when it gets clogged or freezes?
Seems like a mole’s version of a fun house
I’m really envious! I’m currently dealing with something kind of like that, just seems to be way more intense. What depth is required for your line?
