Brian was fantastic and answered all of our questions thoroughly and patiently. He took his time explaining everything that he was doing and the process to fix our issue. He then made sure we had the next steps of our service set up promptly based on our schedule.
Patient and persistent with unexpected garage drains for winter vehicle snow melt. Hardest part was removing the “grates” and then 20 years of sludge vacuumed out. Appreciated the patience and comittment to figuring it out.
Eddison C. was our tech for our clinic in Boca Raton. He did a superb job. We were approached by a competitor who wanted us to buy a new toilet. Eddison assessed the issues with our toilet and suggested a rebuild. Not only would it solve the problem immediately with our toilet constantly running,, low pressure flushing, etc. but it would save money. I approved the service and he started right away. It took him 30 minutes and our problem was solved. He was very professional and kind. I highly recommend Eddison C. and his services. Thank you!
Johne was great. And Brian. Both got to my place and diligently worked Very hard. Very kind and friendly and helpful. They didn’t leave until they knew everything was working correctly and efficiently. You can be proud of them as employees of your company. Thank you for the great service.
Logan found a small leak in our boiler that he repaired. He also had to replace a value and some piping. Saved us from a big problem later on. We have found both Logan and Ethan to be very responsive with our plumbing and heating issues. They explain the issues clearly and give us estimates that are fair. We are extremely pleased with their service and we will recommend them to anyone.
Chase’s services were great! He was efficient and addressed a concern that we had months ago that never got resolved. Prayerfully, the replacement of our expansion tank took care of the issue with hopes of no further problems in the future.
Impressive team, worth every penny. Came in, and worked incredibly hard until the job was done - left everything cleaner than they got it. I could not be happier.
Very happy he came on a Saturday on short notice. He was very professional & polite. Solved my problem quickly. Very happy. Will recommend highly.
It was a positive experience doing business with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing! From scheduling a same-day appointment to check a natural gas leak in my home, to Cody arriving on time , with his expertise, and the equipment needed for the job at hand, all turned out better than expected! He was professional, informative, and friendly, assuring me that everything is and will be just fine. I will definitely use this company again in the future when needed.
The service response was quick- someone came from Charlotte to Hickory the same day. A repair was needed and it was scheduled the next day. The crew were professional and polite. Cleaned up after the work and explained what was done.
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.
