How UNITS can help you Recover From Disaster

Mold. Flooding. Fire. These disasters can occur in any home in America and San Antonio, Texas isn’t immune. Knowing how to recover from them is extremely important. The flood and storm season is responsible for many flooded homes and accidents. When this happens, not only do you need to restore the structural integrity of your home, you need to safeguard your valuable belongings while you do it. This feat is made easier when you use UNITS Moving and Portable Storage.

Stages of UNITS Help

UNITS helps people recover from property damage completely in two steps.

The Pack Out

The Pack Out step can begin almost immediately after the disaster has taken place. All you need to do is call our facility and we will deliver a portable storage container as fast as possible. UNITS operates 7 days-a-week, so we can be available to our customers as soon as they need us. After all, disaster can occur at any time.

We deliver our portable storage containers on a specialized truck to ensure they get to you in perfect condition. Once we have placed the storage container on or near your property, you can place your belongings inside and begin restoring and repairing your home. If you would rather not store your items on site, you can opt to have us return the container to our secure warehouse, and have it delivered to you at your own convenience.

Be sure to neatly organize your belongings so that you can keep track of everything. Also, remind yourself to label your boxes so that you know what is inside and where they go.This can also help account for things that were possibly destroyed or are missing. UNITS also has many items for purchase, such as boxes, to help with the process of packing.

This can also include storing things that have lasting value beyond dollars: memories. Heirlooms from family members and vintage photographs are very sensitive and storing them somewhere that is secure and safe is important when doing renovations or recovering from disaster.

Storing and Unpacking

After you have packed away your belongings in one of our UNITS containers, you can store them on site and access them whenever you need them. This is very helpful in times of crisis and personal disaster. You may need important documents or supplies that wouldn’t be safe to store in your damaged home. These are things like tax returns or insurance policies that are extremely important in times of crisis like flooding or fire and can easily be stowed safely in a locked-tight portable storage container. These documents are essential for restoring your home to its original state and without them can hinder the process significantly.

The process that most restoration companies in San Antonio follow will likely take a few days. If the damage is significant, however, this could take longer. UNITS is flexible with timetables as we are available any day of the week. Once the damage has been restored, it is time to move your belongings back into your home. This is another reason why labeling the items that you store away is important. Labelling these items will make the unpacking process much faster as you will already know where they belong.

Portable storage is a great way to keep yourself and your family organized in times of trouble. If you have an emergency where you need to move items out of your home and need easy access to them, we are available to fulfill your needs. We can deliver our portable storage containers anywhere in the San Antonio area on one of our specialized delivery trucks. UNITS has the best prices and service to match.
