Are moving containers water proof?

Are moving containers waterproof? Now this is very important if you’re moving, you might even be storing in your moving container for a little bit of time during your setup, during your unpacking, and maybe you’re doing it during the wet season. You really want to make sure that your stuff doesn’t get wet, doesn’t accumulate mold, or that anything gets ruined within your container. So how can you make sure of that? Usually, moving containers are made of steel. They are supposed to be completely sealed, but they are not always exactly completely sealed. This is also because of wear and tear with the moving that can cause cracking, and it’s also because usually they come with like a roll-up door. This is not completely sealed, and so maybe rainwater can actually trickle in. The other issue is if you’re keeping the moving container and you’re placing it on the ground, what if there’s flooding? It would be definitely sensitive to flooding. It can go in through any cracks and even through the sides of the doors. And you really want to keep your stuff safe. You don’t want to put it in any kind of danger of wetness. Obviously, you know, wetness and mold can kill your stuff. So there are two things that you could do about this. The first thing is the most obvious thing before you move your stuff into storage, inspect the unit you’ve been delivered very, very carefully. Look for any cracks, maybe use a flashlight to be more thorough and see if there’s any kind of cracks or imperfection so you can alert the company to fix them before you put your stuff inside so that it won’t be in danger of getting wet. Another thing you can do is go with a different option that’s not a container placed on the ground. For instance, flex storage. With flex storage, you get units that are completely insulated, both in the walls, in the floor, and in the ceiling, so you don’t have to worry about rain at all. And when it comes to flooding, flex storage units can be elevated quite high above the ground so that even if there is a flood, it never touches any of your stuff and everything remains safe and dry inside. So I encourage you to look for the best option for your stuff, especially if you’re moving during the wet season, Just to make sure your stuff is kept as safe as dry as possible.
