Most self-storage in New Milford, CT keeps quiet about one very important fact: a unit that controls temperature but not humidity is all but useless.
Why?
So many storage unit owners promote their "temperature-controlled units," but don't put work into their humidity checks. That's dangerous. It leads to damaged items and the "basement smell" you can't get away from.
At Distinct Storage, we do more than hold a steady temperature inside your unit. We use 24, high-tech sensors to report both temperature and humidity across the building every minute. The moment either number slips past the safe line, the staff sees it and you're sent a message. It's that easy.
Distinct Storage is the only storage facility in New Milford that tracks humidity. Others offer only "climate control," but they only watch the thermostat, and leave out humidity. Storage units that ignore humidity are no better than a wet basement. Don't pay to store your items in a wet basement ... rent with us instead.
A lot of people tell us, "Another place quoted me less per month."
And while that may be true, what are you paying for?
If the other facility isn't monitoring humidity, your belongings face mold, mildew, warping, and moisture damage. Replacing a couch, photos, or electronics costs far more than the small monthly difference.
With Distinct Storage, you get:
Cheaper is only cheaper until something gets ruined. Our self storage units make sure your items are safely stored.
