Great staff. Would highly recommend for all your plumbing needs.
Both Dave and Cody did exceptional work in identifying my plumbing issues and fixing them for me. They were both on time, personable, and a pleasure to work with. They helped take the sting out of a big plumwater bill! Thanks guys! Update: After leaving my house, everything was fine, however it is now the next day and there is no water in my kitchen! I called thinking it's probably an easy fix, and they tell me they can't come out till Tuesday! I understand bad weather is approaching, but I'm paying almost $2000.00 for this, and now I have no water in my kitchen for at least 4 days?!? Suddenly emptying a pan of water catching water under the kitchen sink isn't looking so bad! Not happy!
Ryan was very competent and thorough. Although all I really wanted was my toilet to work again he made some very good observations throughout my house of things needing work. He presented pros and cons and didn't feel overly pressured to do anything. His work was done right away and he left no mess. I will definitely call him in the future.
The crew at Ben Franklin responded quickly to our situation and presented us with options to fix the problem of excessive rust deposits entering the house in sinks and toilets. The returned within 48 hours and installed two filters to our system. The plumber, Mingmar, was very nice, explained everything he was going to do and finished the job in less than 4 hours. Thank you, Ben Franklin!
Our experience was awesome with Mr JD Workman, Mr Luke , Mr Trey. They did a great job on our home. Workmanship was excellent and they explained what they were doing. The cost was very reasonable we found. More than $2300 lest then the other quote. Found a good plumbing company to do future work we may need!!! They cleaned up after themselves and put all the paneling they removed back. They were very polite. Miss Heather was very polite and helped us out with the pex piping of our house. We rated them 5 stars because they were!!!! Thanks for fantastic job!!!!
Just had a new water heater installed. David did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable & professional. Extremely pleased with everything.
David was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He took extra time to understand my faucet problem and researched options to help me get the part I needed.
My water heater stopped working on Wednesday morning and I didn't realize that until 7pm that night. I contacted Benjamin Franklin responded and they presponded instantly. We scheduled an appointment over text (which is really cool) for 9 am next morning. Then I realized I got some leaking from my kitchen ceiling (through the light hole) and I freaked out and texted them again. Adam was incredibly helpful and patient. He walked me through shutting the water heater off step by step through a mix of calls and pics. Then Sebastian and Adam showed up on time next morning and did a great job. This will be my to-go place for any plumbing issues too. Also, the price was very reasonable. Thank you guys!
Initially called for a sewage smell in my house that’s been going on for a long time and getting worse. During technician’s assessment he determined that our pipes were not in code and needed to be replaced. He was a hard worker and stayed on task. He did find the source of the smell and fixed it.The job took 2 days plus a 3rd day to come back to fix some of his work after inspected by his supervisor. During that visit one of the fixes unfortunately caused a gap in the tub as seen in attached picture. I’m giving a 4 star because he usually came 1.5 hours or more after the time he told us he would come. One day he didn’t come at all or call. Again, our problem was fixed and he took care of an extra request, but dependability was lacking.
I'm very pleased with the recent services I received from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. They were prompt to not only provide a full inspection of the plumbing on a recent house I purchased here in Richlands but quick to schedule an appointment to have the Hot Water Heater replaced. The Tech was knowledgeable and professional and did an extremely clean and detailed job. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs.
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.
