Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Which of the following is NOT typically a cause of structural movement in a cottage?

1. Incorrect Depth of Footings

2. Inadequately Sized Footings

3. Oversized Footings

4. Too large a span between piers

5. Excessive moisture levels

6. Lack of proper drainage

The correct answer is: Oversized Footings

Oversized footings are not typically a cause of structural movement in a cottage. In fact, having oversized footings can actually provide more stability and support to the structure. The weight distribution from oversized footings can help prevent issues related to settling or shifting. On the other hand, options A, B, D, E, and F can all be causes of structural movement in a cottage. Incorrect depth of footings, inadequately sized footings, too large a span between piers, excessive moisture levels, and lack of proper drainage can all lead to structural issues such as settling, cracking, or shifting in a cottage.
