Mike did a fantastic job for us. He had a couple of items to work and he did so in a highly professional and caring way. I am so grateful for his time and expertise! Will no doubt call again when our home needs plumbing advise!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Service! Highly Recommend! I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for all your plumbing needs, big or small! I recently needed to have a pop-up sink drain assembly replaced, and Bryson J. was the technician sent to assist me. Bryson was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and courteous throughout the entire process. He completed the repair efficiently, made sure everything was working properly, and left my bathroom clean and tidy afterward. It's refreshing to receive such excellent customer service! I truly appreciate Bryson's professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you, Bryson, for a job well done! I would definitely recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to anyone in need of reliable, quality plumbing services!
Absolutely the best. Chase made sure to clean up after installing the new dishwasher, cleaning the faucet screen and making sure everything worked correctly with no leaks.
I am a new widow navigating a stressful plumbing issue. I met with Nick. He was the 3rd Plumber I was meeting that day. From the start he was friendly. Shook my hand. Asked what the problem was. I said I had a slow leak from the meter to my house but had no idea where it was. He explained how we could handle this issue. This is the 4th or 5th leak I have had! I decided to go for the full replace. It would be guaranteed for 15 years. So I did. Tripp and Nick showed up and both were professional, friendly and polite. They did an excellent job. Tripp went so far to get rid of the big black spider right next to my shut off valve in my basement! Goes above and beyond. After the repair they reseeded and laid down straw! From Adam in the office to Nick and Tripp was beyond pleased with the service. This company cares about their customers and it shows. Thank you Adam,Tripp and Nick!
Just had an old broken water heater replaced (30 to 50gallon) by Michael Gladstein. From The moment my wife and I met him, we felt confident in the entire company, appreciated his professionalism, how he took the time to clarify different options, notice we could have a larger tank; when other companies didn’t even give the option because the old tank was a 30g on second floor, with small space. He then installing it himself the next day with excellence. Really showing care for our home by through clean organized work, and his craftsmanship. Michael did great work from beginning to end! What’s stood out to me was that between the three quotes we got, Benjamin Franklin had the most competitive pricing. Only a few more Benjamin‘s difference for higher quality! Other companies quoted prices close to what Benjamin Franklin did but offered less. Highly recommend.
Jacob with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was absolutely fantastic! He showed up on time, was courteous, knowledgeable, and made me feel like I could actually trust a plumber in my house—which, let’s be honest, is sometimes harder to find than a leak! 😂 He was so great that even my dog liked him, and my dog is usually a pretty good judge of character. If he passes the dog inspection, you know he’s good people! 🐾 Professional, trustworthy, and friendly from start to finish. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, give this man a raise—or at least let him know he’s officially been approved by the household security team! Would absolutely recommend Jacob. 10/10 stars, two thumbs up, and one very happy dog! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They came out and inspected the old water heater and able to explain what was needed to bring a new one up to code, and while they were here they were able to shut off the gas valve to the hot water heater (which was antique) for my safety. They also told me what was needed for new duct work to the furnace. Very professional.
5 Stars all around! We had an emergency on a Friday late in the afternoon. I called and they were able to send a plumber out right away. The plumber was knowledgeable and courteous. They were able to get our work done in a fast and timely manner! Thank you for your help, we greatly appreciate it!
Ethan from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was so accommodating, he got me in the same day I called. Very professional and fixed the problem on the spot. Highly recommend them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!

Anthony J Zarzaca
Owner
Mr. Zarzaca has over 25 years experience in mechanical and general contracting. He and his wife, Jean-Marie Zarzaca purchased Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charleston in 2017 with the goal of rebuilding the organization and transforming it into the very best service plumbing organization in Charleston. Since July of 2017, we have replaced all but 2 employees from the original 5 and have grown to a family of 15 employees including 1 dispatcher, 1 office manager, 7 high quality technicians and 6 plumbing apprentices taking part on our apprenticeship program to teach the trade to the next generation of BFP Plumbers. When Anthony is not working with the business, he enjoys the area beaches with Jean-Marie, is a gourmet chef, coaches youth football in Mt. Pleasant and supports his three children's travel sports.

Derek is the newest member of our team here at BFP. With over 25 years in the trade, Derek comes to us originally from Boston, Massachusetts by way of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. As a leader at the Ben Franklin franchise in PA, Derek worked both in the field and ran operations. He is an outstanding plumber and diagnostician of hard-to-see problems. New to the Low Country, he, his wife and family are learning all of the amazing things that Low Country Living has to offer. When not working, he and his wife support their son's high school wresting career, the beach and exploring the area.

Ricky, as he is known to us and customers across the Low Country came to us in Late 2017 as our third hire in the rebuilding process.

Debbie came to BFP mid way through our very tumultuous first year in business. Since that time, Debbie is the organizing force of our office and a steady hand in an emergency service business that is reactive by its nature. Debbie handles all of our HR, accounting and just about anything else needed to keep the company growing. When she is not in her office at BFP, Debbie and her husband are either enjoying the beach or running after her family and three incredible granddaughters.

As a rare native son of Sullivan's Island SC, Dalton loves everything about the Low Country, hunting, fishing, his dogs, his family and his beloved Clemson Tigers.
