Monsoon brings more than just rain – it brings challenges, especially when it comes to relocating homes. The lush greenery and romantic skies may be welcome, but for homeowners planning a move, the dampness and humidity can become a logistical nightmare.
That’s where Falnest Relocations steps in, not just to move, but to protect your belongings through reliable home relocation services. Through our specialized Monsoon Move Shield™ Protocol, we’ve developed a science-backed system to ensure your valuables stay dry, fresh, and mould-free during even the wettest months.
Why Mould & Mildew Are the Hidden Enemies of Monsoon Moves
In addition to ruining the surface of your belongings, mould and mildew deteriorate fabric fibres, discolour wood, corrode electronics, and compromise leather. In fact, humidity levels above 60% (common in Indian monsoons) are enough to trigger spore growth within 24 to 48 hours.
Closed packaging, extended storage, and transit delays during rainy weather only worsen the risks.
- Wooden furniture
- Upholstery and mattresses
- Leather goods
- Electronics and appliances
- Paper documents and artwork
-
Pre-Packing Dehumidification
Before packing begins, our team installs portable dehumidifiers in your home to bring humidity levels down. This ensures your belongings are packed dry, eliminating the chances of trapping moisture inside sealed boxes.
-
Desiccants & Moisture Absorbers in Every Box
We line our cartons and crates with high-performance moisture absorbers, similar to the ones used in global shipping of artworks and electronics. These are non-toxic, sustainable absorption poles that actively pull moisture from the surrounding air during the journey.
Each absorber is:
- Free from harmful chemicals
- Long-lasting for up to 90 days
- Capable of handling fluctuating humidity levels
At risk items include:
The Falnest Advantage: Monsoon Move Shield™ Protocol
Our experienced relocation specialists don't just pack, they prioritize complete protection. Every move during monsoon is equipped with moisture-prevention strategies tailored to the client’s belongings and risk profile.
Vacuum-Sealed Packing for Sensitive Items
High-value items like designer clothing, handbags, documents, and tech gadgets are vacuum-packed. This eliminates internal air pockets, preventing condensation and ensuring zero exposure to ambient moisture.
Waterproof Shrink-Wrapping for Added Safety
Even after packing, we apply an outer layer of industrial grade shrink wrap over all large furniture, electronics, and storage containers. This creates a waterproof barrier, shielding your goods from sudden showers or drips during transit and loading/unloading.
Anti-Fungal Leather Treatment
Before packing leather sofas, jackets, or footwear, our team applies a gentle, anti-fungal leather conditioner that protects against mildew and prevents cracking caused by humid conditions.
Climate-Controlled Storage (When Needed)
In cases where your new residence isn't ready and temporary storage is required, Falnest houses your goods in climate-controlled facilities. These are equipped with 24/7 monitoring and automated dehumidification systems, ensuring constant protection.
Going Beyond Basics: Insights You Should Know
Our experience tells us that even the smallest precautions matter. So, here’s what we recommend:
-
Avoid polishing wooden furniture or deep-cleaning leather 48 hours before packing as most cleaning products often retain moisture.
-
Inform us in advance if storage will be in a non-air-conditioned or poorly ventilated location. We’ll prepare your items accordingly.
-
Do not store anything in plastic bags unless they are specifically designed for breathability, as they can trap condensation.
At the destination, our crew performs an inspection to check for any early signs of moisture damage and to ensure nothing was compromised during the journey.
The Science Behind Our Tools: Sustainable Moisture Absorbers
While we don’t advertise specific brands, Falnest uses industry-grade absorption tools developed in Sweden, known for their innovation in moisture control. These products are:

- Designed for safe use in closed environments, making them ideal for residential packing
