Total Service,PHD

Company Overview

At the helm of Total Service PHD is Ken Roche, a master plumber with a license. Ken began his plumbing journey at the age of 10, working with his father, who was also a licensed master plumber. It's fair to say that plumbing is in Ken's DNA, earning him the title of ""plumbing PHD"". Ken and his team have been a trusted name in Steamboat for 18 years, formerly operating as Roche Plumbing and Heating. They are proficient in plumbing, heating, drain, and sewer solutions. Customer service is their top priority, with 24/7 availability and the best insurance coverage in the business. They have seen it all and are ready to manage any plumbing issue.

Ken received his Masters License at a young age of 25, establishing Roche Plumbing & Heating in 1994. Under Ken's guidance, the business expanded rapidly, transitioning from custom homes and condos to full-service plumbing. In 1997, he started Core Bore for concrete demolition, later selling it in 2001 to launch ""Monsters of the Underground"". He expanded into Roche Trenchless Plumbing in 2001, using state-of-the-art video equipment, locators, and high-pressure jetters to resolve complex drain and sewer challenges. This method enables his expert team to apply high-grade epoxy and polyester lining to existing pipes, fixing old sewers without the need for digging. Today, the business is known as Total Service P.H.D., highlighting the diverse scope of work available.

With a father who was a master plumber and general contractor, Ken Roche is inherently equipped for this line of work. Ken, a native of upstate New York, graduated from Niagara University in 1991 and settled in Steamboat Springs to experience the ""ski bum"" lifestyle. Like many others, he found that the ""lifestyle"" was not as fulfilling as expected and sought reliable employment. He turned back to the profession he was most familiar with: plumbing. He earned his Masters License at 25 and started Roche Plumbing & Heating in 1994, later transforming it into Total Service, PHD. Ken's ""one call does it all"" philosophy at Total Service covers all aspects, from major excavation and sewer repairs to perimeter drains and septic systems. With one phone call, his experienced team can take care of it all. This also encompasses general contracting for extensive flood damage from frozen and burst pipes.
