Anyone who has lived in the four-state area knows that spring weather in the Midwest can be unpredictable and intense! So far this spring, we’ve already experienced severe thunderstorms, high winds, and even a few tornados. These spring storms can obviously cause major damage, from flooded basements to structural damage and much more. Even something as simple as high humidity can lead to mold, mildew, and other damage. Fortunately, climate-controlled self-storage in Missouri and Kansascan help to protect even your most sensitive belongings during our most extreme spring weather!
How Climate-Controlled Self-Storage Helps Protect Against the Elements Of course, putting your stuff into self-storage of any kind offers it a certain amount of protection—similar to keeping it in your garageor an outdoor shed. However, anyone who has a garage or outdoor shed knows that they aren’t exactly impervious to the worst that Midwest weather can throw at them. Climate-controlled self-storage in Kansas and Missouri takes protection to the next level. Even your garage or attic may be prone to leaks or big swings in temperature and humidity. Climate-controlled self-storage isn’t. Because the temperature and humidity are consistent, a true climate-controlled self-storage unitcan protect everything from important documents and electronics to keepsakes, antique furniture, musical instruments, and more. It’s all kept safe and secure year-round.
Why Climate-Controlled Storage Is Your Best Bet Located inside secure buildings, climate-controlled units offer protection from more than just temperature and humidity. High winds and even the worst rain or snow are kept outside. While there’s not much that even the most secure facility can do in the event of a direct hit from a tornado, climate-controlled self-storage can handle just about anything else. Of course, consistent temperature and humidity are nothing to sneeze at, either, and can protect your most precious belongings against warping, moisture, mold, and mildew.
Additional Tips for Protecting Your Belongings in Storage Like anything else, the more care you put into your self-storage solutions, the better your experience will be. Climate-controlled self-storage is a great way to protect your most sensitive items, but it’s only one of many ways you can get the most out of your self-storage experience. Some other ways to protect items in storage include using sealed plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes(these have the added advantage of often being clear, so you can see what’s inside them), keeping items off the ground using pallets or shelving, and labeling what’s in your storage unit so that you can find it quickly and easily.
We may not be able to control the weather, but we can prepare for it. One great way to prepare for anything that spring weather may throw at you is to put your belongings in climate-controlled self-storage in Missouri and Kansas.
