Elid totally resolved our problem (leaking toilet) in a timely and professional manner. He identified the need to replace both mechanical parts inside the tank and the wax seal at the flange. It was a great relief to have this work completed after three days of having water in the bathroom floor. Thank you, Elid! You are an outstanding representative for Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.
Five stars aren’t enough! I can’t recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Savannah Metro highly enough. The team was professional, friendly, and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. I truly appreciated the care, communication, and attention to detail. It’s refreshing to work with a company that makes you feel valued and takes pride in its work. They’ve definitely earned my recommendation! Thank you for such outstanding service!
The plumbers in this job were extremely professional in their work and explanation of the procedures used to repair the toilet. Also the piece of pipe with the shutoff valve was expertly replaced. Everything that was done was thoroughly explained to our complete understanding. We are very satisfied with the work done on our home. The next time we are in need of a plumber, we will be happy to ask for this individual. Thanks again for the wonderful job with the plumbing job on our home. It was a great joy and a wonderful experience to have this job done by you. 1
Great experience! Aaron and his assistant were polite and professional. I was impressed with Aaron’s attention to detail. My entire plumbing system has been replaced and upgraded. The final product looks amazing. Thank you
The two technicians who came were very friendly and polite. I wish that they could’ve given me an estimate before they came out as I understand it, the price was a set amount for this certain job. The service call fee Is reasonable But the labor, they wanted to charge for an hour’s work was quite high for an hour’s work
Great plumbing techs very good at explaining in a way a customer can understand. They were able to portray a plan as far as installing my new water tanks for a water filtration system I currently have. Knowledgeable when presenting options for the tanks. 👍🏻
Edison or Addison… the tech was quick to respond and show up for my non working tankless water heater. He picked up a new one and installed it all in a matter of a couple of hours! Excellent service! Will definitely work with this company again!
PJ is an excellent plumber, and he is very personable. His competence level assured us he would solve our issue - and he did. The water running down our drain runs faster than a Philadelphia Eagle! Hurrah for PJ!
I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.
Chris was fantastic! Diagnosed the issue and then fixed it. This was installed many months ago by Benjamin Franklin (totally different group of the company). Explained all that was occurring and then ensured I knew how to turn off gas to the unit and the house before he left. So kind and helpful!
With the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing team, you get the best of both worlds—local licensed plumbers backed by a trusted national service. Because all of our locations are independently owned and operated, we live and work in the communities we serve.
As a result, our owners and their employees are more committed to providing excellent experiences and helping out our neighbors. We hire talent right from the community, boosting the local economy by keeping dollars in our own backyard. That's worth being proud of.
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 McDonnell
Field Operations Supervisor
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.
Ricardo Solorzano
Site Superintendent
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. He moved to Charleston from South Florida where he has worked in plumbing for the last 20 years. We have been extremely fortunate to have Ricky on our team as he has made a complete transformation from new construction plumbing to service plumbing where he has built great relationships with his customer base and successfully graduated his assigned apprentice to a service technician in 18 months. Rick os an amazing woodworker, husband in father of three children.
Debbie Tolbert
Business Manager
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.

Jason "Dalton" Stanley
Technician
Dalton is one of only 2 employees left from the company we purchased in mid-2017. An apprentice at that time, he worked with several different technicians and learned the detail of the trade from multiple perspectives. After a 2 year apprenticeship, Dalton was promoted in 2018 and has thrived in the lead role. 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.
