Movers in North Wales, PA know firsthand that moving can be stressful, exciting, and potentially dangerous. Though moving may seem like a simple and straightforward process, residents are advised to stay alert and aware of their surroundings and physical limitations to avoid a trip to the hospital on moving day. Use these four tips to help make your upcoming move safer!

 

• Properly wrap all glass. You probably won’t be surprised to learn that fragile glass objects are the most often-broken items during a move. Shards of broken glass can quickly cause a serious injury, especially if you have children or pets running around on the day of the move. Make sure to wrap all of your glass with at least two layers of newspaper, and secure objects in tight-fitting boxes to prevent breakage.

 

• Invest in non-slip shoes or shoe covers. Rain, sleet, or snow can make sidewalks slippery and cause a disaster when mixed with heavy lifting. If inclement weather is in the forecast for moving day, consider investing in a pair of non-slip shoes or shoe covers to avoid falls.

 

• Keep plenty of water handy. It might be getting colder outside, but you can still expect to work up a sweat moving all those heavy boxes to your new home. Keeping bottles of water and plenty of refills available for all members of your moving team can remove the risk of sprains and strains brought on by dehydration.

 

• Call in the experts. Moving companies in Doylestown, PA can handle the most dangerous of moving tasks, like shuffling furniture around or lifting heavy objects. If you want to make your move as safe and stress-free as possible, give Dan the Mover a call before moving day arrives.
