The distance from your front steps to the moving truck may not seem like a long distance, but when it’s raining, each step feels like a mile. Not only is walking outside in bad weather dangerous with slippery streets and wet floors, but there’s also an increased risk of your precious furniture and possessions getting damaged. The helpful local movers at Easy Moving & Freight, serving the Union and Florence, KY, area, understand the stress of moving and will help you every step of the way, from providing boxes and packing supplies and helping you pack to moving your items and setting up your new home.

While dealing with rain on your moving day is certainly irritating and definitely stressful, there are ways to make the move easier. Here are some tips from Union's favorite local movers:

• Plastic Wrap Your Belongings: This applies especially to all artwork and mattresses. If your other items are packed in cardboard boxes, they should be fine during the move, as long as they are sealed properly with packing tape.
• Cover Your Clothes With Garbage Bags: All loose clothing on hangers that you had planned to throw on the backseat of your car needs to be sealed inside garbage bags to prevent them from getting soaked and/or ruined.
• Check For Leaks: Before you bring any boxes to the moving truck or your car, make sure that there aren’t any water leaks. If there are, cover them with a temporary fix. For a small leak, duct tape will be efficient. For larger holes, try a garbage bag and duct tape combination.
• Contact The Moving Service: In rainy weather, it’s possible that your local moving service will be delayed. Keep in touch with your local movers to know when to expect their arrival.
