Southeast Wisconsin is sure getting its share of turbulent weather this summer. Several weeks ago a tornado set down in Eagle Wisconsin and then parts of metro Milwaukee were flooded from heavy rain. The review from google maps is from one such customer:
“I needed a UNITS quickly just for temporary storage because of basement flooding that had happened overnight. I called the number on the website at 5:50a just hoping to find out their hours to know when to call back. To my amazement and chagrin, Janelle answered!! She had been monitoring the weather (and her own basement), knew she’d be getting calls, and made sure to be available to any customer that needed their services. I got a UNITS by 12:30p that day, JJ was great and very flexible in helping me find the best spot to put the unit. You can tell each person really cares about providing their customers with the best experience possible, which is rare these days. They were definitely a bright spot in a day that wasn’t very much fun. Janet – 07/2010 ”

If you are planning to move or renovate your home, you’ll probably need portable storage. Before selecting a portable storage company, do your homework. When you compare companies, be sure you ask how the portable storage container is constructed. For example, it’s important that the container has an integrated roof system (vs. a roof cap) to ensure it is watertight. Ask about the method for strapping your belongings to the walls. This is the best way to keep your belongings stable during transit on and off the freeway. You will want something substantial to attach the strapping to, not just an eye hook. And, don’t forget to inquire about what the container is made of. You will want a sturdy container made of steel and fiberglass (vs. wood and tarps). Wood invites moisture, mold and insects. Lastly, you need to know whether the company has a secure warehouse that is heated to ensure your belongings remain safe from the elements.
