Best ever for clogged drains. We’ve used them a couple times now and they have always been prompt and courteous. Cole was a trooper unclogging our drain due to tree roots. We would most definitely recommend them every time!
Alex Baudoin and Luke Stelly came to our home and installed a sink. They were both very professional. They were very patient. They were extremely friendly and did an excellent job. Definitely recommend them!
Quick and easy experience. No one wants to call a plumber but this was as good as it gets. The plumber Jonathan came out and found and explained the problem and the cost which was very reasonable. He made the repairs and it looks as good as new. Thank you Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.
I'm so happy I called today. I received great service for my troubles with my kitchen sink, and in addition, I got my water heater taken care of and cleaned. Gustavo was the person who arrived at my home and took care of everything. He was very honest, thorough, and respectful. Furthermore, I am very satisfied and pleased I reached out to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Gustavo was fantastic, too! He is great at what he does and treats his customers like family.
had to get my water heater replaced because i was randomly out of hot water. Called at 9:30 am and had it all done and replaced by 4!! I already have hot water again and it’s still daylight!!! they did amazing. fast workers and did what they came to do and got out. Will definitely be contacting in the future if anything else happens !!!
Jerry did an excellent job. I provided the new faucet. I have a membership. Jerry was on site less than an hour. The bill from Benjamin Franklin was over $600.00 for less than one hour of work. That is outrageous, especially for a member. It comes to over $16.25 per minute. Gouging the elderly/customer.
Bryce and Don were excellent. I have been calling for Don’s expert Plumming services for over 15 years. Our home is 80 years old and he understands whatever the problem is. He is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
Jeremiah did a great job! Could not have asked for a better guy to come out and get the job done. He knew what he was doing and got on it right away! Would definitely recommend
I needed a same day weekend appointment for a leaking water heater. My technician Shaun was on time, knowledgeable and very professional. He replaced my water heater in no time. They were upfront about estimates and explained everything. I am very happy I chose Benjamin Franklin plumbling!
Eric was a kind, thoughtful, thorough plumber who did everything he could to make the service cost useful. We ended up not having a plumbing issue but he gave us recommendation on who to call next. Thank you Eric for your compassion and willingness to go the extra mile to help us out! 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.
