Carl the technician that was sent to our house was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He fixed our issue easily and provided us with information on how to prevent it from happening again. I'd highly recommend him personally to anyone needing any plumbing done in their house. Ty for great service
A lot of companies don’t recognize the importance of the initial contact. In our case it was Erica who was unbelievably pleasant and caring on the phone. Next, our technician Dave was courteous, competent and very easy to communicate with. Most importantly, the biggest impact he made on us at the end of the day was not the work he performed, rather he discovered an expensive gold bracelet in the trap of our bar sink and returned it to us promptly!
Craig was very thorough and explained the bad news to me very nicely. I was shocked at the $5,000 price. So I asked perplexity how much to replace a grinding sump pump. I learned Craig gave me a fair price. I will use him again on my 6 rentals.
Responded quickly and professionally. Reasonable price, smooth installation. I trust Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for all my plumbing needs. Highly recommend!
Jeff is Polite, knowledgeable and prompt w/ service and are the best reasons to call Ben Franklin Plumbers.
Used them two times already my team leader Zizz that came out showed up earlier than time given. He was very professional and courteous. And very humorous!!!! Shawn & Christian was the Technician’s that came out to perform the work. They were both very professional and courteous. The work that was performed they made sure everything was in working order. They also made sure that everything was cleaned in the area of work. I would rate them a (6) out of (5) job well done!!!!!
A great company from their office personnel to their field personnel. From the time I spoke to them the process was straight forward clear and concise. They even picked up my water heater from Home Depot. Very professional, a price you can’t beat. Alex and Trey got the job done in an efficient manner and even came back when I was having an issue and sorted it out no questions asked. Any time I have a plumbing issue this will be my go to company. I’ve dealt with a lot of others here in the Lafayette area but their attention for customer service can’t be best.
Jeffery does extraordinary work. He fixed a difficult and challenging problem. He was so professional and thorough, making sure everything was perfect. I strongly recommend. He’s an extraordinarily good reflection on the quality of his company.
Oscar and his co-worker Kenny did a very commendable job. They did a call ahead which was appreciated and were right on the estimated given time. Both guys were industrious, hard working, conscientious of ensuring the area was clean after they finished and assured us if for any reason a situation might develop to contact them. They took pride in their job and were very pleasant to work with.
Highly recommend!! Very professional and willing to help and answer questions in person and over the phone. You're in great hands with Benjamin Franklin. I have not used their service myself but a friend of mine did and from what ive seen and watched them do (replace and update toilet pipes to code) friend had old plumbing causing issues and was notified he needed to update his pipes to a bigger one to be up to code. They handled it quickly and calmed my stressed friend by answering questions and quoting him a great price. After Ben Franklin guys did their job we remodled the rest of the bathroom. His wife was happy, i didnt have to figure out plumbing and everyone was happy they didnt have to use the neighbors restroom anymore.lol. All in all they took about a day to handle it from call to finish.
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.
