Who Bears Responsibility for Water Damage in Your Storage Unit?

Renting a storage unit for your belongings provides convenient extra space, but it also entails potential risks. When damage occurs, the onus typically falls on the storage unit tenant. However, with renter insurance from Houston Restore Pros, you can rest assured knowing damages are covered. Discover how to safeguard your stored items for optimal protection.

Safeguarding Your Valuables: Understanding Potential Storage Unit Damages

Familiarizing yourself with the various threats your items may face in a storage unit is essential. Equip yourself with knowledge to respond effectively when faced with challenges. Here are key factors to consider:

Water-Related Hazards

Water damage can stem from water main breaks, leaks, or malfunctioning sprinkler systems. When self-storage agencies neglect their utilities and equipment, your items become susceptible to water damage.

Weathering Natural Disasters

From floods to fires, nature’s fury can devastate entire storage units, leaving belongings irreparably harmed.

Guarding Against Theft and Vandalism

Remote storage unit locations make them attractive targets for thieves and vandals. Explore ways to fortify security measures and protect your stored possessions with Houston Restore Pros.

Battling Animal Intrusions: Shielding Your Stored Possessions

Safeguarding your belongings from animal infestations in storage units is vital. Nooks and crannies in furniture and appliances can attract rats, raccoons, and rodents that may cause significant damage by chewing and leaving droppings. Count on Houston Restore Pros to protect your items from these critters.

Essential Measures for Storing Your Items in a Storage Unit

Ensuring the safety of your stored items requires proactive steps. Here’s a checklist to fortify protection:

Comprehensive Item Insurance

While renters insurance covers various issues, it might not provide full protection for your storage unit items. Fire damage is commonly covered, but water damage may not be. Additionally, storage unit insurance often has coverage limits. If your valuable furniture piece suffers mold damage, standard insurance may only cover part of the cost.

Understanding Your Insurance Contract

Don’t wait for damage to occur before reading your insurance agreement. Familiarize yourself with the coverage details to avoid surprises. If you find insufficient coverage, discuss options for additional insurance with the storage rental company.

Rental Insurance for Peace of Mind

Opt for rental insurance that covers the total value of your stored items. Though there may be upfront costs, it offers peace of mind. In case of any issues, filing a claim with your insurance will prompt investigation and compensation. When your valuables need protection beyond standard policies, trust Houston Restore Pros’ storage unit insurance.

Cherished Keepsakes: Secure Your Priceless Items Beyond Storage

Protecting sentimental and irreplaceable items, like family heirlooms, is paramount. While insurance can offer financial compensation, it can’t replace the memories and familial pride tied to these possessions. Avoid risking damage to your mother’s wedding dress or your grandfather’s clock by storing them safely with you instead of in a storage unit.

Regular Vigilance: Ensuring the Safety of Your Stored Belongings

For those with items in storage units, periodic checks are essential. Verify the structural integrity of the property and promptly address any signs of leaks, cracks, or indentations to prevent potential damage.

After our house flooded on Christmas we called Houston Restore Pros and they took time from their holiday to come out and assist us and walk us through the next steps. From mitigation to reconstruction the process was seamless and the experience was great. The office worked side by side with our insurance and got all the tough questions answered for us and handled everything on that end. They were able to restore my home to even better than they found it. We’re very happy we choose Houston Restore Pros.

Houston Restore Pros worked well with our insurance. Joe and crew were compassionate and highly efficient at the moisture mitigation. Joel was great at coordinating the different phases and letting us know what to expect. Dennis and team Manuel, Daniel, and Alex went above and beyond expectations! Joe and Kirk and their crews carefully moved the furniture out and back. I would hire this group again!

Ben and his team completed this project for us as sewer water backed up into the home. They did the demo which consisted of removing the base boards, tile/wood flooring, sheet rock, shower, etc. They put back the home in a timely and professional manner!
They installed sheet rock, tape and float, installed base boards, painted walls and trim, built a new vanity and painted, installed new plumbing fixtures, completed the tile shower with pan, tile in bath areas, and wood in bedrooms and living areas. Very reasonable pricing and completed a few small extras without hassling for additional monies.
I highly recommend Houston Restore Pro to complete any project you may have at your home or office!

We had a little flooding inside our house back in July 2024 and when we informed our insurance company, they have suggested Houston Restore Pros as one of the cleanup company. In a matter of few hours, Joe was at the house supervising the mitigation process which they did meticulously. We were satisfied with the results that we decided to let them finish the restoration and reconstruction of the entire first floor under the able watch of Ben who was very responsive to all our questions and making sure that he corrected everything that needed to be addressed promptly. I would highly recommend Houston Restore Pros to anyone who would be in the same predicament. Thanks again Joe, Ben and the entire crew.

Our house flooded in May and needed to be restored from 2 feet up down to the concrete foundation. Houston Restore Pros had us back in our house in December and it looks better than it did before the flood. Ben was very helpful during the process and whenever we needed a repair fixed or changed he was easy to get ahold of and was quick to send out someone to fix it. You can tell that he really cares about his customers. I've added some photos of the demo and the finished home. It really is beautiful.
