What Items Should Be Stored In Climate Controlled Storage?

Walnut Creek Movers – What Items Need Climate Controlled Storage?

Many people may think of storage units as only useful during a move. They are excellent for that and for many more purposes. Expert Walnut Creek movers will have the moving and storage solutions to meet your short and long-term needs. 

Why People Use Storage Facilities

The main reason for using storage facilities is related to a household move. According to a survey, 41 percent of storage uses are centered around moves. Storage purposes can include staging a home to prepare for a sale, downsizing to move into a smaller home quickly, making a temporary move if you’ve sold the current home or moved out of an apartment and the close date on the new residence has been pushed back. Perhaps storage space is needed to enable you to consolidate homes. Additionally, people that have transient situations, such as those in the military, may need to store household goods between assignments.  

Other storage facility uses include decluttering to provide more space at home, storing household goods during a home renovation, storing a loved one’s belongings after their passing to get their home ready to sell, or emptying a dorm room during summer break. Whatever the situation, an expert Walnut Creek moving company can provide the storage space that you need. 

Why Choose Climate Controlled Storage

You’ve invested a lot of money in your household goods and belongings, so it is important to protect them from the risks of degradation and damage. That means protecting items from the effects of temperature extremes and fluctuations, humidity, dust, and debris. You want an environment that has great air quality so that your items don’t take on undesirable odors. 

What Items Need to Be Placed in Climate Controlled Storage

Consider these items that should be protected from harm by using the storage facilities of professional Walnut Creek movers: 

1. Upholstered furniture. Storing upholstered furniture in non-climate controlled conditions will subject it to picking up odors. 
2. Leather furniture. Leather furniture items are very sensitive to humidity fluctuations. Without the protection of a climate controlled environment, the leather can shrink, warp, and thin out. 
3. Wood furniture. Wood furniture, and especially antique wood furniture, is susceptible to the warping and damaging effects of humidity and temperature.  
4. Consumer electronics. Electronic equipment is critical to be protected from the damaging effects of moisture. 
5. Pharmaceutical and medical supplies. 
6. Collectibles, like paintings, for example. 
7. Important documents, paperwork, family photos…anything that is paper-based should be protected from the ravages of humidity. 
8. Clothing gets extra protection in a climate controlled facility.
