Moving delicate artwork

Many Australian houses were traditionally built on a timber stump foundation. Consequently, the process of using the timber for the foundation was referred to as stumping. Although many Australian trees can resist rot damage, with time the stumps may suffer damages from rot and termite infestation. If you notice that your house is rotting from the foundation, call a restumping professional.

Working with all your furniture still in the house can make the process slower and subject your property to damage. Storing your furniture in a storage facility before the process begins will benefit you in several ways.

It Keeps Your Property Away from Damage

Carrying out the process of restumping with everything in the house can be messy and harmful to your furniture. Though the contractor may do everything to keep your items safe, sometimes accidents can happen, leading to furniture damage. Keeping your property away is the best way to ensure they are in good condition for use after the restumping process.

It Lowers Stress

Moving your items during restumping adds to your stress and doubles your workload. The process of moving the furniture around after the project begins will be too much work. You will likely end up worrying about the safety of your furniture, causing yourself unnecessary stress.  Moving the items to self-storage will give you confidence that they will be safe from the risk of falling or getting scratched. 

It Helps Speed up the Project

Moving your belongings creates room for the project to go on without everything scattering all over the place. Cluttering the site will not only make movement difficult but may also slow down the project. Providing a free space for the contractor to work will ensure efficiency and faster completion of the work.

It Reduces Clean-Up

The process of restumping can create a lot of mess, especially when the experts have to go down through the floors. The dust and debris produced during the process will likely cause your furniture to get dirty. Therefore, you will have to deal with a lot of cleaning after the professionals complete the project. Getting a storage facility for your furniture will reduce the amount of cleaning you have to do. 

Keep your property away from the working site to experience a flawless restumping process. That will remove the stress of moving the property during the restumping and help the contractors focus on the work. It also ensures faster completion of the process. Once you decide to store your furniture, take your time to find a storage facility that offers the kind of services you need.
