experience. However, if you are moving in the rainy season, it adds
to your moving troubles. Rains offer a perfect platform for trip and
fall accidents. Here are some important tips to keep in mind when

Upholstery, furniture, appliances, paintings, clothes, and nearly
anything that you are moving can be damaged in the rains. It is

sheet and secure them with a tape to protect them.

and fall accidents are common in the rains and therefore it is
necessary to make yourself safe when moving during the rainy season.

ensure that you wear proper footwear that does not slip. Wear gloves
and keep rugs, towels or mats at the entrance of your main entrance
so that anyone moving in and out of the house does not bring the mud
and water with them.

itself is quite depressing and when moving in the rainy weather, you
ought to feel depressed. In order to make things better for you, plan
your move accordingly and try to avoid the last minute stress, as
efficiently as you can. If you have kids or pets, it is better to
call in a pet sitter or babysitter. Keep your pets confined to just
one room so that they do not add to the chaos and create mayhem.
Prevent water from
logging in your porch and driveway – Dusty driveways can become
slippery which can act as serious slip and fall hazards. Do not let
dust or dirt to accumulate on the driveways and if there are any
cracks in the concrete, cover it with plywood to prevent the puddles
from forming.
Keep your belongings in a
storage unit – Moving in the rainy season can be hazardous and if
you have additional belongings, it can be extremely dangerous as

to keep those additional belongings that you do not require
immediately in a storage facility near you. By moving only those
belongings that are necessities, you can be more focused and this
brings down the chances of any accidents while moving. Once you have
moved, you can come back and procure the additional belongings stored
in a storage room in Bronx.
