Covering drain hole by carpet

[Inderpal Chadha]

Question, is covering drain in the basement with a carpet violation of Wa state building code?

Thanks

Probably not but you will regret doing so. If you obstruct the drainage of water you will flood the basement and your insurance will be of no use. Why would you want to do that in the first place? What are you attempting to accomplish? Doesn't it rain in Issaquah? Like, a LOT?
