When seasons change (from winter to summer, for example), humidity in the air can cause concrete to sweat. Humid air that enters a structure condenses into water droplets on the surface, known as sweating, causing slippery and damp conditions.
How can this affect your items in storage? Our units have concrete floors, meaning your belongings, if stored in cardboard boxes, may absorb moisture and suffer from mold or mildew damage if no preparation is made. CopperTop is happy to provide wooden pallets to our customers to raise stored items off the concrete floor, preventing water or humidity damage from this naturally occurring phenomenon.
