Improper drainage under and around a cottage built on piers can lead to what type of damage?

  1. Dry rot

  2. Ice damming

  3. Interior ceiling stains

  4. Moisture damage

  5. Roof sagging

  6. Structural failure

The correct answer is: Moisture damage

Improper drainage under and around a cottage built on piers can lead to moisture damage. When water is not properly drained away from the piers and foundation of a cottage, it can seep into the structure, causing various forms of moisture damage such as mold growth, wood rot, and deterioration of building materials. This can compromise the integrity of the cottage and lead to costly repairs over time. Dry rot, ice damming, interior ceiling stains, roof sagging, and structural failure are not directly associated with improper drainage, making them incorrect choices in this scenario.
