4 Mistakes Professional Movers Don’t Want You To Make

There are so many things that can go wrong or can be forgotten during a move. Here is a list of some problems that you may encounter during the moving process,  and what you do to avoid making them.

1. Forgetting About Your Pet

You may not have forgotten your pet, but what about their belongings? Too often, pet owners forget about toys, food, beds, and other accessories their pet may have. Pet belongings, such as kennels, also need to be planned in your move. Before moving, whether or not it’s a short trip or long journey, make sure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations, has correct identification, and proper tags.

2. What About the Plants?

Many tenants forget their plants. Plants are living things that require proper sunlight, water, and air to grow and remain healthy. Put everything your plants need on a checklist, so you are less likely to forget it. Your plants will begin to wither if they are cramped in a hot moving van.

3. Leaving Your Home Dirty

Leaving your home dirty is one of the worst things you can do when you’re moving. If you were previously renting your home and didn’t clean it before you moved, you can bet you will not get your deposit back. You may even have to appear in court to be sued for damages, and being sued for property damage will make it difficult for you to rent in the future.

4. Improper Packing

Moving is not a DIY job. For instance, you never want to skip the bubble wrap. It helps keep your items in place and provides a cushion to prevent items from being broken, especially antiques and other valuables. It’s best to let professionals get the job done for you. Improper packing leads to damaged belongings and spending money replacing items. Hiring professional packers saves time and money.
