Gainesville Moving’s Tips for Safe Moving
Gainesville Moving LLC hopes everyone is keeping warm this winter. Winter officially began only days ago although Gainesville has been receiving below average temperatures for some time. Moving during the winter in Gainesville Florida usually is no different than any other time of the year. The main thing to worry about is keeping warm since we never have any snow or icestorms. Even though there were snow flurries in Gainesville reported we feel a general safety checklist for moving would be more appropriate. What good would it do to talk about using salt to get rid of ice on the driveway? Exactly, no good. Since we consider ourselves to be the safest Gainesville movers we decided to spread the wealth of knowledge.
We won’t bore you with a bunch of knit picky things to watch out for. There is an order of importance as follows:
- Personal Safety
- Furniture Safety
- House Safety
- Equipment Safety
Why do we list these in an order? Well let’s say that you are walking with a fragile item that is made of glass. If it comes down to it the most important thing is personal safety. This means don’t sacrifice yourself to save an item. Accidents happen and although not all items are replaceable nothing is worth the personal safety of yourself or anyone else. With that being said. DON”T DROP ANYTHING!
Gainesville Moving teaches our movers to access each room and mark all fragile items and secure these first. Often people will get so focused on getting furniture out that they may step on a small fragile item or worse trip over something. Making sure there is proper room to navigate doorways and hallways with heavy furniture is key to prevent any mishaps. If you think something might be too heavy then ask for help.
Always remember that more protection is better than less protection. If you are unsure then double protect the item. In the end it is safer to transport for the moving companies in Gainesville.
