Moving in the Rain?
Moving when there is inclement weather brings about a number of challenges to be mindful of so that people don’t get hurt. You also don't want your furniture damaged.
When it’s raining … sidewalks, stairs and concrete become very slippery. It’s important that your movers wear rubber soled shoes to minimize slips and falls. Also, movers should place a folded movers’ blanket at the entrance to your home so they don’t track in dirt, water or leaves onto your floors.
Metal or other non-wood furniture is typically not blanket wrapped during the moving process; however, once the non-wood furniture is placed on the truck, a blanket might then be used. That does not mean the piece of furniture should not be covered as it is being taken from the home to the truck. Covering the furniture with a loose blanket will keep the item dry. After all, you want to minimize moisture build up at all times.
The time to physically load and unload the moving truck will take longer than expected. Travel time from your old home to your new home will also be delayed. And, unfortunately, those delays will result in an increase in your overall moving costs.
Moving is one of those tasks in life that Mother Nature controls…
Don’t forget, A Happy Move is an Organized Move!
