Patrick Drew performed a thorough fall maintenance visit of my home’s plumbing systems. Patrick was very knowledgeable and professional. He inspected every plumbing system with care and attention, both inside and under the house in the crawl space. Patrick flushed our tankless water heater and made insightful recommendations as to ways to optimize the life of plumbing fixtures and components. He exceeded my expectations with his professionalism and articulation. I pay for an annual contract which includes 2 maintenance visits a year plus a nice discount on any necessary repairs. Patrick’s friendly service added even more value. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin plumbing and One Hour Heating & Air for all of your home’s essential comfort systems.
We had Matt Stanley. A proffessional from the time he entered our home. We know you pay a little more using brand name services but in the end it was worth not having to worry about ANYTHING. we had 2 water heaters replaced as 1 of them had a fatal disposition and wasnt worth fixing. They got here after already completeing 1 job and they stayed to nearly 10pm to finish our job. 2 big water heaters, both in cramped spaces. They protected our house and took great care while ising good materials to protect our floors and we were grateful. Very knowledeable amd proffessional work all aroumd. Glad we called them.
Chase Mayo did an incredibly professional job installing gas lines to all of our five fireplaces throughout our historic home. He ensured that everything was up to code and safe. All fireplaces were tested for safety and to ensure they were working properly. He also installed five outside water faucets in hard-to-reach places along with a laundry utility sink in our basement which all work perfectly.He and his partner, Kenny Lenoir, both kept us informed every step of the way and explained everything they were doing. They were always punctual and extremely professional and helped us with so many needed things around our home. It was a pleasure having them do such an important and complicated job for us. Highly recommend them for your work. Promote now!
Jordan Seller is an outstanding plumber! He’s a leader! He’s Reliable plus professional, wise, knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy on top on courteous and kind! He works hard and I believe he loves what he does. He deserves a raise or at least a big bonus, after all the hard work he put in here for us! Very appreciative and grateful that we were assigned such an awesome tech! Thank you, Jordan! LLMiller
My partner and I had a great experience getting a quote from our technician Josh Forti. He called me ahead of time, arrived precisely when he said he would, conducted a thorough inspection of our home, was completely transparent about the repair process, and had an overwhelmingly positive attitude, presence, and demeanor. I thoroughly look forward to working with him and would highly recommend this company if all techs are as good as Josh was to us.
Benjamin Franklin is our choice for plumbing services. In emergencies, they provide fast service and get the job done. Sam was a miracle worker. Very knowledgeable and customer-centric. Thank you Sam and Benjamin Franklin team!
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!
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.
