How to Relocate on a Rainy or Snowy Day

A great weather on your moving day is no less than icing on the cake. It did not rain in the past few weeks but now when the moving day has arrived, the weather isn’t supportive. If this is the situation by your side at moment, don’t worry because you can easily relocate on a rainy and snowy day by hiring a few professional hands to help you out during the moving day.

Well, as per the experts, the ‘Do it yourself’ task is a complete (NO NO) during a rainy day and moreover, it isn’t recommended to shift in such weather conditions but if there is nothing you can do about it or cannot manage to delay the moving plan, make sure to hire professional packers & movers in Bangalore as they are the ones who will wrap up your expensive furniture and other important household assets safely using high quality packing material in order to safeguard them from getting wet or get damaged by getting soaked or moist in rain.

While your packers and movers do the hard work of packing your goods, you can always put in your efforts and take the necessary precautions required to shift your precious belongings to the new premises by accurately accommodating them and avoiding the rainy water to get in any of the boxes. Here’s how you can protect your goods and deal with rain on a moving day:
  • Prepare your belongings
  • When it’s time to pack your household goods, start wrapping up the largest pieces of furniture in your home. Use plastic sheets along with bubble wrap to pack wooden furniture in order to protect it from water. Even if your furniture is water resistant, none of the professional moving companies will advise you to not take any risks of shifting your furniture without packing it in a plastic sheet. 

  • Loading and unloading
  • As soon as you realise there are chances of rain and such weather conditions may hinder your moving journey, remember to call your packers movers Bangalore and replace the open back trucks with a covered carriage truck. In general, when you are loading items in the truck for transportation, the first and the foremost concern is the safety of your belongings. Using straps can be of great use when you want extra protection of the large and flat surfaced household items such as a table, mirror, ironing board and mattresses.

  • Prepare yourself
  • When it’s raining or snowing, the most important step you need to take care of is getting well dressed especially in the winter season. Wear water resistant boots, gloves or a raincoat as per your need. Also, keep dry towels and warm eating stuff by your side in a personal bag for everyone as they’ll be both great for you and the movers in the winter season. 

  • Cardboard Boxes- Yes or No
  • Unpleasant things can happen to anyone during a move; therefore it is important to take necessary precautions prior the moving day. Cardboard boxes are prone to get wet and soggy when exposed to rain and they’ll soon begin to fall apart. This is something you wouldn’t want to see happening to the boxes that contain your household belongings. Though, it isn’t advised to use cardboard boxes but if you do, please make sure to cover them up with a plastic sheet before exposing them in the rain.
