Tips For Moving During The Rainy Season

When it comes to moving, rain is not the ideal condition in which to keep your household items dry. So we want to help you with these tips.

CHECK THE FORECAST

Moving is already a hefty chore, especially if you are choosing to pack and move all of your belongings yourself. So taking the extra step to wrap your items in plastic might be added effort that wasn’t required if it is going to be a sunny day. So save yourself the time and effort by checking the forecast before wrapping all your items in plastic.

WRAP IT UP

That being said, if there is rain in the forecast, then yes – wrap it up. You can purchase large industrial rolls of saran wrap, which are easy to use and will help keep your items dry while keeping your boxes from falling apart under wet conditions.

MARK YOUR ITEMS ACCORDINGLY

Granted, there are things that wouldn’t get hurt if they did end up getting wet, but for items such as dry kitchen food goods or linens – these should definitely be marked accordingly in order to safeguard against wet ruined food and soggy blankets. Or, as an added precaution, any items that shouldn’t come into contact with moisture should be put into a sealed tote.
