Protect Your Belongings with Humidity Controlled-Self Storage in New Milford
Why Humidity Control Is So Important
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.
The Only Facility in New Milford That Checks Humidity
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.
Before You Compare Storage Pricing, Compare Protection
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is humidity-monitored storage?
Humidity-monitored storage uses sensors to track moisture levels inside storage units and alerts staff when humidity rises above safe ranges. This helps prevent mold, mildew, and damage to your items.
Are all storage units humidity controlled?
No. Most storage units offer temperature control only. Very few monitor humidity alongside temperature. Even though humidity is what causes damage in storage units! We offer both in our self storage New Milford, CT units.
What's a good humidity level for storage?
A safe humidity level for storage is between 30%-50% relative humidity. Levels above 55-60% increase the risk of mold growth and material deterioration.
Do I need climate controlled storage?
Yes, if you are storing items that are sensitive to heat, cold, or moisture. Items like furniture, electronics, photos, documents, leather, or wood fair better with humidity control.
Are temp controlled storage units the same as climate controlled?
Not always. "Temperature controlled" often refers only to heating or cooling. "Climate-controlled" should include both temperature and humidity, but many facilities still regulate temperature only. Always confirm whether humidity is monitored.
