Understanding the Challenges of Winter Storage

Winter brings with it a unique set of challenges for stored items. Fluctuations in temperature, increased humidity, and the potential for water damage can all pose significant risks to sensitive items. At Brentwood Self Storage, we understand these challenges and are equipped to help you navigate winter with minimal risk to your belongings. Our dedicated team is constantly monitoring weather, ready to adjust our systems to provide the best protection for your items.

Temperature Control

One of the key factors in protecting your items during winter is ensuring they are stored in a temperature-controlled environment. Brentwood Self Storage offers climate-controlled units that maintain a consistent temperature range, preventing damage from temperature fluctuations that can cause wood to warp, electronics to malfunction, and fabrics to mold or mildew. These units are ideal for storing delicate items, such as antiques, musical instruments, and photographs that are vulnerable to extreme temperatures.

Moisture Management

Humidity and moisture can accumulate during the winter months, leading to mold, mildew, and corrosion. Brentwood Self Storage's climate-controlled units also manage humidity levels, ensuring your items stay dry and protected. Additionally, we recommend using desiccant packs or moisture absorbers in your unit to help control moisture levels. Our facility’s design includes state-of-the-art ventilation systems that further aid in reducing humidity and ensuring the longevity of your stored items.

Proper Packing and Preparation

The way you pack and prepare your items for storage significantly impacts their ability to withstand winter conditions. Here are some tips to consider:

Wrap and Cover: Use plastic wrap, bubble wrap, or furniture covers to protect items from dust, moisture, and pests. This is especially important for wooden furniture, electronics, and any items that are sensitive to moisture.

Elevate Your Items: Keep items off the floor on pallets or shelving units to protect against potential flooding or moisture accumulation on the unit floor.

Leave Space Between Items: Ensure proper air circulation by not over packing your unit. This helps prevent the buildup of condensation and mold. By following these simple but effective steps, you can reduce the risk of damage to your belongings during the colder months.

Security Measures

Brentwood Self Storage takes security seriously, providing peace of mind that your items are safe during the winter months. Our facility is equipped with 24/7 surveillance, gated access, and individual alarms for each unit, ensuring your belongings are protected against theft and vandalism. We also employ a team of security professionals who regularly patrol the facility, adding an extra layer of protection for your stored items.

Regular Checks

We encourage tenants to check on their stored items throughout winter. This allows you to catch any potential issues early and adjust your storage strategies as needed. Our friendly staff is always on hand to assist with any concerns you may have. Brentwood Self Storage offers a convenient online account management system, allowing you to monitor your unit and access important updates from the comfort of your home.

While we take every precaution to protect your items, having insurance provides an extra layer of security.
