Each year before the rains, more families ask about storage services in Mahim 400016. Leaking walls, waterproofing work and seepage put furniture at risk.
We wrap your sofas, beds and cupboards in protective material. Then we move them to our covered warehouse in Saki Naka. When the repairs are done, we bring them back. We also store wall mirrors and lamps that may be in the way of the workers.
Sea, rain and old buildings in Mahim
Mahim lies on the bay, with the Causeway linking it to Bandra. St Michael's Church and Mahim Dargah draw crowds, and the Koliwada still holds fishing families.
Many homes are in older buildings with thick walls that soak up moisture. In the monsoon, seepage shows up as damp patches, peeling paint and a musty smell.
Wood swells, mattresses catch fungus and metal hinges rust. Societies often schedule waterproofing just before or after the rains, and rooms must be emptied.
Families who live near the bay also notice that salty air dulls metal and fabric faster. Things kept against windows suffer the most.
- Seepage. Water often enters through outer walls and window frames.
- Salty air. Sea air speeds up rust on hinges and metal frames.
- Repair season. Waterproofing often happens just before or just after the rains.
How to protect furniture through the monsoon
Move furniture out before the work starts, not after the walls are wet. Damp wood is harder to dry once it is wrapped.
Pieces against an outer wall face the most risk. Sofas, beds and wardrobes on that wall are the first ones to store.
Let wooden items air for a day if they already feel cool or damp. Tell our team about any fungus spots so we can pack them separately.
Some families store furniture for the entire monsoon, even with no repairs planned. It gives the walls a chance to dry and be treated without clutter.
- Outer walls. Store furniture that stands against walls facing the sea or rain.
- Mattresses. Dry them in the sun before packing, if you can.
- Electronics. A TV or washing machine near a leaking wall is better stored.
- Timing. Book before the society's waterproofing date, as many neighbours do the same.
