Benjamin Franklin Plumbing did an excellent job installing my garbage disposal. They were the first company to get back to me when I was requesting a quote. They gave me a quote over the phone, and their prices were straightforward and extremely reasonable. Jacob Morris did a great job. He was fast, cleaned up everything, and even provided some helpful information for future garbage disposal purchases. I highly recommend this company and only wish I had found them sooner.
I called a month ago for an issue, they came out gave a free estimate and gave advice to try and repair on own. They checked on us to make sure we didn't have any more issues. We called them back out due to the same issue, they came out again and David provided excellent service. I was expecting an astronomical bill but they were so affordable I will definitely be using them in the future for any of our plumbing issues!!!
I had a pretty major plumbing issues throughout the whole house. It was due to really poor plumbing work done by the previous owners of the house and it just kept causing more and more issues until we had a catastrophic break and standing water in the crawl space. I was able to get Evan out the same day I called and he fearlessly got in the crawl space and investigated the issues. Turns out we needed our entire plumbing repiped due to leaks and properly set up to promote better drainage I had great service from the whole team that came out include Shawn and Mitchell. Mitchell went above and beyond to explain everything and make our lives easier while we were dealing with a repair that needed several days to repair. Ill be contacting this company forst for any future plumbing needs. I'll tell you that for free.
I had a great experience with Josh installing my new water heater. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He showed up on time, explained the process clearly, and made sure everything was installed safely and efficiently. Josh took the time to answer my questions and made sure the area was clean before he left. The installation went smoothly, and the new water heater is working perfectly. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and cares about doing the job right. If you’re looking for someone reliable and skilled for a water heater installation, I highly recommend Josh and his services. Great workmanship and excellent customer service!
Had a pipe leak in my front yard and lance Morton showed up and was very professional and an amazing guy. He found the leak quickly and got it fixed better than new. The whole company is amazing and awesome and so professional and awesome. Highly recommend and if you get lance you are getting an amazing guy.
Had a leak where the water came in the house from an outdoor tankless water heater. I thought he was going to cut half the siding out from around. He only cut about a 2” square section out, hardly noticeable. The plumber, Traise was knowledgeable and efficient. I’d use him again. Price did seem a little high but it needed to be done and at least it was done right. Thanks!

Israel did an outstanding job! He was professional and explained everything clearly. He also showed up with a positive attitude. I would definitely recommend him.
I was out of H20, Jerry and his assistant were right on time and did a superb job in restoring a vital supply. I commend their efforts and wish the "Yankee best in show." His tattooed man showed admirable skills and left a pristine work space. Jesus love them for their attentiveness to task. I
Sean arrived to promptly to diagnose my current plumbing issues at hand which includes resin tank servicing on my water softener system. He was exceptional with his delivery, additionally uncovered a trap leak in the crawlspace. He will be back to perform the work.

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.

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.
