Louisiana Household Storage Guide
Quick Answer
Prairieville and south Baton Rouge experience extreme humidity and frequent rain, creating a high risk of mold and corrosion. To protect household goods, choose a temperature‑controlled storage unit that maintains 55°–80 °F and reduces humidity swings.
Because our units do not regulate humidity, pack items carefully: clean and dry everything before storing, use airtight plastic bins with gasket seals, wrap furniture in breathable cloth, and place moisture absorbers like silica‑gel or DampRid inside containers.
Monitor your unit during the muggy months (April–October). Elevate items on pallets to allow airflow, leave aisles for inspection, and replace desiccants regularly.
Based on our experience serving hundreds of local families, Almighty Storage recommends temperature‑controlled units and moisture‑resistant packing for all sensitive belongings.
Why choose a temperature‑controlled unit in south Louisiana?
South Louisiana’s muggy period lasts more than half the year, with July averaging over 30 muggy days and annual precipitation around 62 inches. Warm, damp air can cause wood to swell, paper to warp and electronics to corrode. Temperature‑controlled units keep the air between 55° and 80 °F to reduce these swings, slowing moisture buildup.
- Extreme humidity: Prairieville’s average relative humidity is around 74 % and mold can develop within weeks.
- Moderate temperatures: Maintaining a 55°–80 °F range helps reduce humidity swings inside the unit.
- Supplemental moisture control: Because humidity is not regulated, use sealed bins, breathable covers and desiccants to keep items dry.
In our temperature‑controlled corridors, we’ve seen how controlling temperature helps slow humidity spikes, but proper packing and monitoring are still essential.
Which packing materials and techniques work best?
Louisiana’s humidity migrates through cardboard and plastic wrap, creating condensation and mold. We recommend switching from cardboard boxes to airtight plastic bins with gasket seals. Clean and dry all items before storing. Wrap furniture with breathable cotton sheets rather than plastic wrap, and insert moisture absorbers inside bins and around electronics.
- Airtight plastic bins resist moisture and pests.
- Dry items thoroughly; even a damp cloth can raise humidity inside a unit.
- Use desiccants like silica‑gel packs or DampRid to absorb residual humidity.
- Add a vapor barrier (polyethylene or foil) on the floor if you’re using a drive‑up unit or non‑temperature‑controlled space.
Based on our experience, customers who invest in quality containers and desiccants see far fewer issues with mold.
How should you organize and maintain your unit?
Good organization maximizes space and helps air circulate. Elevate items on pallets or shelving to prevent ground moisture. Leave gaps between bins and create a central aisle for ventilation and easy access. Label bins clearly and place frequently used items near the door.
- Elevate items to avoid ground moisture and leaks.
- Leave air gaps between bins and avoid over‑stacking to prevent trapped moisture.
- Visit monthly during muggy months (April–October) to replace desiccants and check for condensation.
- Use our covered loading area and indoor corridors during thunderstorms.
We’ve found that consistent inspection and airflow are key to preventing hidden moisture damage.
What size storage unit do you need?
Choosing the right size prevents overcrowding and allows proper airflow. Below is a quick reference for common sizes at Almighty Storage.
Your step‑by‑step plan
- Make a list of items to store and note anything sensitive to moisture (wood, electronics, photos).
- Select a temperature‑controlled unit size that provides enough space for airflow.
- Clean and dry items; pack in airtight bins; wrap furniture in breathable sheets; add desiccants.
- Arrange your unit thoughtfully with pallets, air gaps and a central aisle; label everything.
- During muggy months, visit monthly to replace moisture absorbers and check for condensation. Contact our team for local advice.
By following these steps, you’ll protect your belongings from Louisiana’s challenging climate while taking advantage of our secure, temperature‑controlled facility.
Packing & Protection Tips
Protect your belongings with these simple steps:
- Elevate boxes on pallets or boards to promote airflow and prevent moisture wicking.
- Use breathable covers for mattresses and upholstered furniture rather than plastic wrap.
- Label all sides of your boxes so you can find what you need without digging.
- Place frequently used items near the door for easy access.
- Remember: our temperature‑controlled units maintain roughly 55°–80 °F to help reduce swings, but they do not control humidity. Use moisture absorbers or desiccants to manage humidity inside your unit.
