Michael was awesome, and very professional!
Never a convenient time when water pipe breakages happen! Monday evening on a holiday. I called Benjamin Franklin at 9:20 pm with an emergency call. Tom K. was the service tech assigned. He contacted me within 30 minutes of my call to let me know he was enroute. He showed up well presented, clean cut and in uniform. Very well mannered, professional, and knowledgeable. After I explained what happened and the action I had taken, he explained my options. He was thorough and made sure I understood everything. We decided on the least costly option knowing that after he opened a small hole in the drywall would determine whether I would have a larger problem or not. Fortunately for me it was not the worse case scenario and it was something Tom could fix. He was finished within a couple hours and I had water again. I cannot express enough, my gratitude for Tom K. and Benjamin Franklin. I will not hesitate to contact them for any future plumbing repairs and/or new installations.
They are very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin plumbing.
The technician Nick was very good very polite and seemed to know what he was doing. He did a great job. I’m real please in my service. Thank you Benjamen Pplumbing And Nick, I live in High Point, North Carolina
Called for an estimate and they had a tech out to my house within 20 minutes on a Friday afternoon. Michael looked at the hot water heater (why I called) and did a free home inspection while he was there. He was quick and explained everything and answered my questions. They scheduled me for Monday, and Michael came back out to replace my hot water heater and fix my bathtub handles and faucets that were leaking. Whoever had done my repairs before hadn’t used the correct parts, making the work a little more difficult than expected, but Michael got the correct parts needed and got the job done! The pricing was reasonable, much less than other places I had gotten quotes from (one wanted $1000 more!), and the estimate was free which is harder to find nowadays! Several other places wanted to charge $50-$75 just to come look at it. I’m glad I found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. I will definitely use them again should I need anything else and I recommend you use them as well! Michael was phenomenal and took the time to answer my questions and explain everything in a way that made sense!
Nick was fantastic!!!! My water filtration system blew. He diagnosed it and installed a brand new system cleanly and efficiently. Explained the whole process!!!! Really happy with the service.
Great team of professionals, handle my situation within short notice. The job was executed within a reasonable time, and installed with attention to detail. Very satisfied with the outcome, so far my systems are operating at an optimal level.

Lucas and Sam were very friendly and professional. They were on time and got right to it….explained what they needed to do and the price for service up front. They gave me updates throughout the service so there were no surprise expenses!! They also cleaned their work space up just the way it was when they arrived. Everything works great!! I will definitely call this company back for any future service needs!
Brad got the main water shutoff replaced with a ball valve. This was my first time paying for any plumbing service so I was surprised at the price initially, but we were able to work out the exact service I needed so we could get to a better price for me. Install took about an hour.
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.
