Andrews & Son Tv & Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Baltimore, MD 21217

In Baltimore, gutter overflow is often caused by a combination of seasonal debris like leaves and pine needles, along with improper pitch or clogs in the downspouts. At Andrews & Son, we perform a comprehensive gutter inspection to identify the root cause. Our fix typically involves a thorough cleaning, adjusting the gutter slope for proper drainage, and installing gutter guards if needed to prevent future blockages and protect your roof and foundation from water damage.

The dark streaks on roofs are algae that thrive in Baltimore's humid environment. We safely remove these stains using a low-pressure, environmentally friendly cleaning solution that kills the algae without damaging your shingles. More importantly, we can apply a preventative zinc or copper strip treatment near the roof's peak. When it rains, trace amounts of metal wash over the shingles, creating a surface that inhibits future algae growth for years.

Addressing gutter issues and potential leaks before winter is crucial here. Clogged or overflowing gutters can lead to ice dams, which force meltwater under your shingles and into your home. Existing algae can also trap moisture, accelerating wear on shingles before the freeze-thaw cycles begin. Our pre-winter inspection and maintenance ensure your roof system is sealed and draining properly, helping you avoid costly emergency repairs during cold snaps and keeping your home warm and dry all season.
