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!
Kevin was great. He is an experienced professional. Another company quoted 2900 for the job I needed done and he did the same job for 1700. I will definitely be asking for Kevin by name for my future plumbing needs.
Ryan is a true professional. He knows what he is doing and he does it well. He is very personable and he is a valuable asset to the Benjamin Franklin team. I would certainly use him again and I that is why I give him a five-star review.
I want to thank Ben Franklin in Mansfield Texas for hiring Hunter, an honest and the best plumber I haven’t seen in some time. Thank you Hunter for the fantastic job on my toilet. You are definitely my “go-to” person!
Chris was very professional and very polite. After his inspection of our problem, he presented us with multiple options for repair. Once we decided on the repair option we wanted, Chris completed the task very quickly. Hopefully I won't need any repairs in the near future but if I do I will can Ben Franklin Plumbing, and hopefully they will send Chris. My only issue with the company is that several years ago my daughter called them for repair service and now all correspondence is directed to her and not me the house owner. This happens even though I inputted my information when booking the service call. They use my email with her name. However, this doesn't effect their ability to show up quickly and complete the work professionally. Thank you for a job well done!
Wonderful company to work with. The service person Tim was very professional and knowledgeable. He competed my water heater replace in a few hours. Thank goodness for that cause not having hot water in winter is horrible. Would recommend him and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing 10 out of 10 time
Ryan installed a tankless water heater for us. He was punctual and communication was fantastic. He took care of a few odds and ends we had putting off as well. Highly recommend.
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.
Had to reschedule service due to a scheduling conflict and I’m glad we did! Ryan is a true professional. He gave us some pointers on upkeep in between service and he’s very good with kids. My son was super interested and he took the time to show him the ropes haha. Here’s to hoping we don’t need to see him anytime soon, but if we do need plumbing services, he’s no doubt the one we’ll ask for!
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.
