Great service, particularly Douglas. He was thorough, professional, friendly, and knew exactly what he was doing. I would recommend.
David Rice and Hercules were amazing replacing our 2 40g water heaters in the attic. Customer service on point, arrived when they said they would, placed blankets down throughout the house and didnt leave any trash or materials behind. Highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!
Kyle was great! He explained a hot water problem I’ve had forever so that I can finally understand what the issue is and that the builder had installed a regulator for a tank system when I have a tankless system!!! He flushed everything out for me and even went so far as to call to see how much it would be to remove the regulator. He really went the extra mile for me! What a great employee!
On one of our toughest days as homeowners, Pronto came through immediately to repair a frozen pipe that flooded our basement. It was an emotional day but Patrick G. Came and was so kind and so knowledgeable. He really put my mind at ease and went above and beyond to explain different things to my husband and I. His kindness meant so much in a rough time! He got the job done in no time. I would DEF use this company for any needs in the future!!!
Avery and Andrew were here on time, acted respectfully and did a great job fixing a problem we had lived with for too long. We would fully recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to call them again!
Brandon and Jessie were very understanding and conscious of my situation. They provided numerous solutions and patience while waiting for my decision. Very helpful with NO pressure. After finalizing my choice, Jose and Nate arrived and immediately diagnosed the issue. Calmly and like a well oiled machine were able to snake the clog(s). Then explained then potential hazards of an old home and some prevention steps to keep in mind. When they left, everything was virtually cleaner than when they arrived. The whole experience, with all four gentlemen, was calming, professional, and reassuring.
Super impressed with my initial experience. Technician, Shawn Carnes, Was on time, very professional and very knowledgeable. It’s obvious what Benjamin Franklin‘s mission is, and I was happy to sign up and be a part of it. Definitely refreshing from a service perspective. Well done.
Had yearly inspection done. Austin Strong was very thorough. Showed me pics of issue with piping and we discussed potential changes. Very personable tech.
Our condo building had an emergency with a huge water leak. Ryan responded very quickly. Rod and Dave worked so hard and fixed the leak. Communication was great. Highly recommend this team!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alejandro did an excellent job. He was very professional, punctual, and efficient. He quickly identified the problem and fixed it with great attention to detail. Everything was left clean and working perfectly. I really appreciated his honesty and clear communication. I would definitely recommend Alejandro to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled plumber.
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.

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.
