| Do you have a "sick" dome?
Leaky roof, condensation problems, rotting wood, leaky
skylights, the dreaded sagging exterior panels, unhealthy
indoor air quality, moldy walls?
Dr. DomeTM can
provide answers if you have questions regarding dome
renovations, repairs or remodeling.
A
Natural Spaces Dome, properly built, will not have any of
these problems. However, not all domes are Natural Spaces
Domes nor are all domes properly built.
Dr.
DomeTM and the
staff at Natural Spaces Domes have the knowledge and
expertise to solve your dome problems. Their answers are
based on a combined 83 years of dome building experience.
Let's
look at a few dome problems:
When
you click on any one of the following list of items, you
will see a picture relating to the heading along with
some notes about the problem.
If
you have a similar problem to those shown and want a
remedy from Dr. Dome, you will have to send or email
photos or video of your exact situation. Two seemingly
identical problems may be caused by different situations.
Over 30 years of dome building by those of us at Natural
Spaces Domes, gives us a certain amount of experience
and, we hope, enlightenment.
