Not all heroes wear capes. Rodney showed up on time and quickly saved the day. Very professional, great work, happily fixed another issue on top of what I called for that he wasn’t expecting to have to do and still took care of a few extra things just to make sure everything was perfect! Definitely someone I’d call again.
Had my tankless water heater replaced. Richard was absolutely amazing. He showed an advised me on everything I needed to know about what I needed. Fantastic person to speak to and first classs service with a smile. Thank you Richard & thank you Benjamin Plumbing. A+++++ 👍🏼
We had an issue with our sewer backing up due to collapsed sewer lines. We called Benjamin Franklin, and they sent someone out within the hour. They were able to find the problem quickly, answer all of our questions, and make the repairs as quickly as possible. We had an amazing experience! If you need them ask for Josh!
Austin was professional, thorough, efficient and very friendly. He figured out the reason why our toilet continued to clog. Since we live in a new 55+ community, we were stunned when Austin proudly revealed to us the culprit: a bright magenta-colored tampon casement. What?! Everyone here is too… Ohhh, wait. It must’ve been our niece who had visited a few months prior. Austin was an excellent clog sleuth! PS: Thanks to the Done Right tech who had no-showed, we got Austin who done awesome. 🙂
Ben is a terrific representative of your company. He arrived early and went right to work, evaluating the problem and discussing necessary repairs and cost. Ben is a very personable and knowledgable fellow who knows his trade and communicates well. I enjoyed having Ben repair my plumbing; he even minimized the pain of the repair cost. Should another plumbing problem arise, I will call for Ben - a true professional.
I highly recommend Oscar and his team at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing! They are reliable. fast, and easy to work with. The prices were fair and the service was even better. Thank you!
Joseph & Andrew came today to fix a leaky toilet What great young men, arrived on time, courteous, neat. Did a check of all our plumbing & tightened my loose kitchen faucet Found 2 things that will need attention in future. No pressure to do now, just recommendations! Also gave us price should we want jobs done. Very satisfied & will call them back! They & Company very professional!
Jeff and Johnny were amazing to work with! They were so respectful of our home, super friendly, and best of all, they gave us back heat and hot water! They were very kind, super sweet and knowledgeable about the entire process. Plus they installed our new furnace efficiently and fast! Highly recommend!!!
Eric at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is absolutely AMAZING. He treated my home as if it was his own - showed and explained what he was doing every step of the way, was polite, friendly and timely. He cleaned up everything as he went so that there was no mess left at all. He went the extra mile and then some. Would absolutely recommend Eric and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing as they were the most professional service I have used in quite some time. Very much appreciated and worth every cent.
After years of searching for a plumber who wasn’t always trying to sell us something new when all we needed was a repair, what a blessing it is that we found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing & Josh. Such a polite, professional & knowledgeable young man. Fixed the issue and did it without selling us a brand new toilet. So nice to have plumbers you can trust! Thank you Josh!
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.
