About

My name is Joe Roche, and I am the Plumbing Detective. I’ve been a plumber for over 25 years, and I have experience in both new construction and service. That experience helps me find out what the plumbing issue is, and how best to solve it. I take pride in my work, and the ability to truly solve any plumbing issue I come up with.

Joe was very knowledgeable and professional. He responded promptly and arrived on time. He explained all facets of the project and left my home very clean. His rates were very reasonable and he did a great job with my sink, faucet, and disposal install. I’ve already recommended him to several friends.
