A location not normally subject to dampness or wetness. A location classified as dry may be temporarily subject to dampness or wetness, as in the case of a building under construction. Damp Location Locations protected from weather and not subject to saturation with water or other liquids but subject to moderate degrees of moisture. Examples of such locations include partially protected locations under canopies, marquees, roofed open porches, and like locations, and interior locations subject to moderate degrees of moisture, such as basements, some barns, and some cold storage warehouses. Wet Location Installations underground or in concrete slabs or masonry in direct contact with the earth; in locations subject to saturation with waters or other liquids, such as vehicle washing areas; and in unprotected locations exposed to weather.
