Safe Storage Units

Posted on

It seems that there is never enough space in the home for all items, and so it is necessary to find somewhere to put everything, which is why many people decide to store their belongings at a friend's or family member's house. While this may be a short term solution, there are many reasons that storing items in a storage unit is a much better choice.Here are a few of the services that a storage facility provides that help keep your belongings safe.

Security

Most of the best storage facilities are going to take their security very seriously. The last thing they want is a reputation as an easy theft target. You will most often see a very tall fence with barbed wire or razor ribbon on top. It is also common for there to be only one gate in and out. This allows the facility manager to note everyone that enters and leaves the facility. Many facilities also protect their clients belongings with the use of security cameras. They want to make sure that if there ever is someone that breaks in or steals, they are caught and punished to the fullest extend of the law.

Pest Control

Since storage facilities have some very important items stored within their walls, they make sure that pests are not a problem in the least. Most storage facilities would be prime targets for rodents and insects, but with everyones belongings inside the walls they ensure that pests are nowhere to be found. Most storage facilities get sprayed a few times a year for both insects and rodents. The facilities are also often sprayed more often in winter when bugs and rodents are trying to get out of the cold. Pests could do a lot of damage, but in a storage unit your items should be safe. 

Climate Control

If your items need to be housed in a space that is temperature controlled, there are many different storage facilities that provide this service. If you are holding electronics, it is important that they do not freeze and thaw. If electronics go through freeze thaw cycles then the components can expand and contract. With electronics, if the metal components expand and contract then they can easily break and leave the electronic device completely useless. 

Do not make the mistake of leaving your belongings in an unsafe location. Make sure that your items are protected in a storage unit like the ones at Millville Self Storage
