Improper drainage under and around a cottage built on piers can result in:

Ice damming.
Roof sagging.
Moisture damage.
Interior ceiling stains.
Foundation cracks.
Exterior mold growth.

The correct answer is: Moisture damage.

Improper drainage under and around a cottage built on piers can lead to moisture accumulation, which is a primary contributor to moisture damage. When water does not drain away effectively, it can saturate the soil beneath the cottage, leading to increased humidity levels inside the structure. This moisture can penetrate building materials, resulting in damage such as rotting wood, deterioration of insulation, and potential compromise of structural integrity. Moisture damage can create an environment conducive to mold growth and can also affect air quality within the cottage. Moreover, it may lead to additional problems, such as the need for costly repairs and increased maintenance challenges over time. While other options like ice damming, roof sagging, interior ceiling stains, foundation cracks, and exterior mold growth could also be related to improper drainage, moisture damage directly encapsulates the most immediate risk and consequence of having poor drainage systems in place around elevated structures.
