Ames’ Newest Self-Storage Units!

If you’re new to Ames, you may not be aware of it, but there are several low-lying parts of town that experience significant flooding. You’ll be glad to know that Ames West Side Storage is NOT in a flood plain, so your items will remain “high and dry.”

We have built our storage units with a rock base under the entire system, which gives the water somewhere to go—not just during heavy rainfalls, but also during the humid Iowa summer days. We’ve placed a heavy plastic coating under the cement pads, which helps keep the moisture from seeping into our storage units.

You’ve seen the results of NOT building correctly if you’ve ever seen a sidewalk with segments that have heaved up unevenly. We hired a licensed contractor to build our mini-storage units to ensure that your stored items remain clean, secure, and dry.
