How to Prevent Moisture in a Storage Unit
Published on 5/28/2020
Moisture inside a storage unit can cause unrepairable damage to some fragile items, such as wood furniture, electric devices, and different materials.
Before storing any of your items, you need to make sure all of them are completely dry. If even just a single item is slightly wet, all of your items are at risk of moisture damage. Remember, there is a big chance that mildew and mold will start to grow on your belongings if they are not completely dry. It is strongly recommended that you not move items or expose the inside of your storage unit while it is raining or when there is high humidity in the air.
Use Charcoal to fight moisture
The charcoal briquettes are a natural alternative to desiccant. They can be very effective in eliminating musty odors and absorbing moisture. They can be placed in pouches or in buckets, just be sure not to store them against anything. Homemade desiccant packs can be made by using silica crystals and a fabric pouch, or can be purchased at your home good or hardware stores.
