Anthony was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and careful when working so as to not make a mess. He made sure we were happy with his work before leaving. We will definitely request him again if we have any further issues
Don was amazing! He was very patient and explained everything! I am extremely grateful for his time and work today!
Ben Franklin were professional, efficient and fantastic! DJ called to explain everything before starting the work. They made signing the work agreement easy and it was a breeze doing business with them. DJ for the work win!!! A+
John came out in less time than I expected! He was courteous, knowledgeable and highly professional. He was able to isolate the problem and fix it in one visit. I think I found the plumber we will use for future issues…
Jeff was very thorough and personable. He showed me what he was doing and explained the reasons behind what was happening. I felt respected and valued as a customer. I appreciate his follow up and care.
We had Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of NWA replace our hot water heater and install a smart whole-home water shutoff system. From start to finish, the entire experience was excellent. I had the pleasure of working with three different team members throughout the process—Dillon, Sergio, and Craig—and every single one of them was incredibly helpful, professional, and easy to work with. From the initial quote to the final installation, communication was clear and timely. During the install, the team encountered a unique challenge specific to my home, and rather than pushing ahead blindly, they took the time to walk me through exactly what needed to be done, why it mattered, and how they would solve it. Their transparency and attention to detail gave me full confidence in their work. The installation was completed efficiently, and everything looks and functions great. I highly recommend them for anyone needing plumbing work done right the first time. I’ll definitely be using them again for future needs!
Very impressed with the service I received from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Everything was explained. So knew how to process with the correct option to me. Chris showed me what he was going to due to fix the drain clog in my house. Chris was very professional and efficient and made sure clean up was done before he left. I would recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.
Arnoldo came in on an after hours emergency call and completely swapped out the water main line to the house. It looks better than the original install. He provided excellent work and customer service and showed the upmost professionalism. I would highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.
The technicians were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They were thorough and efficient and explained in detail options that we had with our water heater install. Benjamin Franklin plumbing is fortunate to have Hector and his coworker (so sorry I didn’t catch his name) on their team.Jon also did a good job explaining our options with the initial meeting that we had today.
Robert came out quick to repair a water main leak for our home. He took pride and care explaining his repairs. After completion he reassured us of the repairs done right. Extremely fair priced compared to others in the area. I will definitely keep their number on speed dial for the future.
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.
