5 Things to Do Right After Moving into a New Home with NCMSS Movers and Packers
If you are about to move into a new home, you may be wondering what to do when all of your belongings arrive at the new address. Here is what professional movers and packers from NC Moving & Storage Solutions suggest:
- Inspect all delivered items – First of all, you want to make sure all the stuff has been delivered undamaged and that everything is there. Sure enough, sometimes a dish or two get broken in the transport, but you still have to account for everything, especially the essentials. Take your inventory list and check the boxes one by one. Should you find anything broken, missing, or handled with negligence, immediately get in touch with movers and packers who delivered the cargo.
- Give your new home a deep clean – Clean and sanitize all the rooms in your new home or apartment, starting with the most frequented areas including the bathroom, kitchen, and living room. After this, give your floors some thorough vacuuming and mopping.
- Start unpacking – For the time being, unpack only the boxes containing the essentials and place the items in one or two rooms you have pre-cleaned and designated for storage. Until you fully settle, take out only personal items such as clothes and hygiene products you need to live functionally for the next couple of days.
- Check the utilities – As you want to make certain that everything works properly right off the bat, check your electricity, gas, and water supply. Locate the utility meters and make sure they are up and running. Sometimes previous owners or tenants move out without paying bills so the company shuts down utility supplies. Another important reminder – once you know the power is on throughout the house, connect the internet, TV, and landline.
- Meet the neighbors – Last but not least, go greet your next-door neighbors! Though it might not seem like the most important thing on your agenda right now, it can be a lot of fun and it will do you good to take a breather from the stresses of moving.
