Most storage places keep quiet about one fact - a unit that controls temperature but ignores humidity works about as well as an umbrella full of holes.
Managers still boast about “temperature-controlled units,” yet skip humidity checks. When they skip, mold spores settle, mildew spreads and the sour “basement smell” clings to fabric, paper and leather.
Distinct Storage does more than hold a steady temperature. Twenty-four sensors report both temperature and humidity across the building every minute. The moment either number slips past the safe line, the staff sees the alert and you receive a message.
No other storage site in town tracks humidity. Rivals offer “climate control,” but they watch only the thermostat - they leave out half the protection.
You would not stash your grandmother's wedding dress in a wet garage - a unit that ignores humidity is no better.
People tell us “The place down the road costs XX dollars less each month.”
But ask them - will they keep your items dry?
A couch full of mold, photos that bend and boxes that turn wet cost far more to replace than the small amount you kept in your pocket.
Distinct Storage gives you:
Mold & Mildew - Quiet fungi that rot fabric, wood and paper.
Warped Wood - The oak dresser bends plus splits.
Electronics Damage - Water films short circuit boards and screens.
Rust & Corrosion - Iron but also steel turn into orange flakes.
