Moving Day in the Rain? Here’s How CT Moving and Storage Has You Covered

May 8, 2025

When moving day arrives, the last thing anyone wants to see is dark clouds and rain pouring down. But don’t worry — at CT Moving and Storage, we know New England weather can be unpredictable, and we’re ready for it. We’ve served Connecticut families and businesses for over 50 years, and we understand how important it is to keep your belongings safe, dry, and protected — rain or shine. Here’s what you can expect if the skies open up on your moving day.

Rain Doesn’t Stop Your Move

We never let a little rain derail your plans. Our professional movers come fully prepared with weather-appropriate gear, including:


  • Furniture pads to cushion and shield your furniture from moisture
  • Shrink wrap to tightly seal and protect delicate and upholstered items
  • Floor protection like runners and plastic coverings to prevent muddy footprints or water damage inside your home



From start to finish, we work carefully to keep your home and belongings clean, dry, and safe.

Extra Safety and Care

Rainy conditions call for extra caution. Our team takes additional safety measures when loading and unloading in wet weather, such as:


  • Watching for slippery surfaces to prevent accidents
  • Using covered trucks and minimizing the time items spend exposed to the rain
  • Communicating clearly with you throughout the process to ensure everything goes smoothly



We treat your belongings as if they were our own, no matter the forecast.

What Happens If the Weather Gets Severe?

While rain alone won’t stop your move, severe weather conditions — like lightning storms, heavy winds, or flooding — can create safety risks for both your belongings and our crew. In those rare cases, we’ll communicate with you immediately to discuss options. If we need to reschedule for safety reasons, we’ll work with you to find the soonest possible alternative date that works for you. Your safety and the safety of our team are always top priorities.

Tips for Homeowners on a Rainy Move Day

Here are a few things you can do to help:


  • Set aside towels and tarps near entrances to catch drips and keep floors dry.
  • Keep a clear pathway from the door to the truck so movers can work efficiently.
  • Dress for the weather — rain boots and a good jacket go a long way!


We handle the rest, so you can focus on settling into your new home.
