Dan came to service our sun pump. We needed it replaced. He came that morning when I called. He was knowledgeable and personable. He resolved the issue quickly. I highly recommend and will use this company again!
I had a great experience with Frank from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. They were able to schedule us within a very reasonable timeframe and communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire process. Frank arrived right on time, was friendly and professional, and took the time to explain everything step by step. He made sure we understood the process, his assessment, and the diagnosis, which gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. Excellent service from start to finish — highly recommend Frank and the team at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!
Jeff was on time, professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He immediately identified the problem and showed me samples of what was contributing to our problem. He was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a great plumber.
Caleb Hines at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing saved the day when my shower would not turn off as a result of a broken handle. The company was quick to respond. Mr Hines was the first to arrive among the three companies I called. He explained the problem and the fix clearly and completed the job satisfactorily! Many thanks for the quick response in an emergency situation!
Very thorough with the diagnosis. Gave clear and precise next steps. Was able to check and recheck that problem had been fixed. Very satisfied with them. Will use again, hopefully same guy(Johnny)
I returned from work last night to find water all over the floor of my garage due to water leaking from my water heater which is located in the garage. I had to shut off water supply to the entire house as no water heater bypass was installed, I called Benjamin Franklin the next day and Heather sent Derek Johnson over and after inspection determined a new water heater was needed. He returned a few hours later with said water heater and installed with updates to plumbing to meet new codes and a bypass system if something happens in the future, he did a great job and I would recommend Derek and team!
Fast, friendly, knowledgeable. Offered a range of options for garbage disposal problem, with no pressure to pick the pricier option. Plumber has 40 years experience. Very reasonable price. Will definitely use again.
Chris was an A+ absolute stellar plumber! Fast service, clear communication, and fastidious work ethic. His installation and clean-up was thorough and he took the time to answer all my questions so I could best maintain my new water heater. Thank you!
Juan was extremely professional and very quick. He walked me through everything that he needed to do and walked me through how that would impact my costs and different things. I would need to know about my home in regards to plumbing. I would recommend Juan and Ben Franklin to anyone.
David Laboskie did a terrific job. Our kitchen sink stopped up on Sunday afternoon, just days before Christmas. David was able to come that afternoon. He unclogged the line very efficiently and cleaned up thoroughly so that there was no evidence of his work or the gunk that came out of the line. Besides his competence, David was also a very pleasant, friendly guy.
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.
