It sounds like what you really want to do is pull just the table parts out of
the return string of convertto-html. This way you can add the starting and
ending tags back as well as being able to input new info between the tables.
Since the output of that cmdlet always has the same start and closing tags
you can just strip them with the lengths of those values.... i.e.

function extractTable {
param($message)
return $message.Substring(205,$message.Length - 221)
}

#so to put it to use you could do:
$first = extractTable (dir |ConvertTo-Html|out-string)
$second = extractTable (Get-Process |ConvertTo-Html|Out-String)

#You could modify the below with the static text rather than getting it
dynamically since it never changes
$head = $first.Substring(0,207)
$tail = $first.Substring($first.Length-17)

$final = $head + $first
$final += "<H1>STARTING MY GET-PROCESS HERE, SUCKAH</H1>"
$final += $second + $tail

$final |out-file test.html
& .\test.html



The above will work to concatenate multiple out-html cmds with comments...
so in your example you would do:
foreach server {
$final += "<H1>$server</H1>"
$final += "<P>$comment</P>"
$final += ExtractTable (Checkservices |out-html|out-file)
$final += "<P>$comment2</P>
$final += ExtractTable (checkqueue|out-htmlout-string)
#etc...
}
