If you have family heirlooms and
antiques you want to keep, but don’t want cluttering your home, you are
probably going to want to rent a storage unit. You can choose from many
types of units including humidity controlled ones. It’s important to opt
for one with climate control to reduce humidity for many reasons,
including:
- Reducing the amount of moisture in the unit
- Preventing mustiness, mildew and mold
- Reducing the number of bugs and insects
Get Rid of Moisture
Humidity
leads to moisture and this in turn leads to mustiness, mildew and mold.
Your older items, especially fabric ones, are susceptible to the
effects of humidity. Moisture can also yellow your grandmother’s wedding
dress, cause deterioration in photo albums and books and ruin many
other precious old belongings. While washing can help return some of
your items to their original state, some damage due to humidity is
permanent.
Bugs and Insects
Storage
units are dark, and if they are also damp they become the perfect home
for many creatures including insects and bugs. These insects and bugs
can burrow into your belongings and cause irreversible damage. The best
way to prevent bug and insect damage is to control the climate within
your storage unit, specifically the humidity. Visit this website to find out more about humidity controlled storage in Durham.
