Summer Moving Tips for a Great Move

Moving in the southern California heat presents a list of unique challenges. Since summer is one of the busiest seasons to move, it’s essential to be prepared so both you and your San Clemente residential mover can survive the heat and complete the move.

At Coast Valley Moving & Storage, our years of experience as professional San Clemente residential movers have put our moving crews in the summer heat countless times. This provides us with the knowledge and foresight to plan your move efficiently, on budget, and professionally.

These hot-weather moving tips can help ensure your move is both safe and stress-free.

Make a Plan – Planning ahead is often the key to a successful move. Do you have any specialized items that require specific attention? Will you need additional storage or other services? Answering these questions and thinking of what needs to happen before moving day can make your move much less stressful.

Check the Weather – In San Clemente you can guarantee that the weather will most likely be hot, but planning ahead and checking the weather before moving days rolls around makes it easier to be better prepared for any variables.

Have Water and Shade Available – For both your workers and your family, it’s essential to have water available throughout moving day. Cold water is not just refreshing, but keeps the body hydrated and cooler. Having a space out of the direct sun can not only keep body temperatures down, but also reduce the risk of a sunburn. Plan ahead to ensure everyone remains both hydrated and cool.

Be Careful with Fragile Items – In San Clemente, cars can heat up quickly and often reach oven-like temperatures; moving vans are no exception. Make sure to keep items such as candles out of the moving van to ensure they aren’t ruined by the rising heat.
