Gidders & Sons Plumbing
Company Overview
We handle the most demanding plumbing and gas situations. This covers basic service work including toilets, faucets, disposals, and sinks.
We execute full bathroom remodels, ranging from simple fixture replacements to redesigning and enlarging the space for a more luxurious bathroom experience.
We collaborate with landscape architects and pool contractors to provide gas for pool heaters, outdoor BBQs, and outdoor kitchens. This involves understanding gas requirements for 400,000 BTU pool heaters while handling water and drain lines in trenches.
We eliminate blockages in both individual fixtures and main drains. This operation necessitates several snakes and cameras to clear the stoppages and see the underlying cause.
Barney Gidders started his plumbing journey in Warren, PA, working with his father for more than ten years. In 2003, Barney revived the plumbing company in Fairfax, Virginia. The company has extended its reach into other parts of Northern Virginia thanks to referrals and personal recommendations in community newsletters.
Barney founded his plumbing business in 2003 to offer professional services primarily to residential clients. We decided against traditional advertising, aiming to do such a good job that clients would share our name with their friends. This concept is the essence of our company.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Alvin B.I got tired of paying the rip-off prices of those plumber companies that have lots of advertising. It took me a while to realize that the expense of all that advertising in print, TV, and elsewhere is passed on to the consumers. I've used Gidders and Sons twice and was totally satisfied both times. The first time I needed a new toilet installed in a condo that I own and rent out. They gave me the price over the phone while recommending several different toilets. (I went with The Avalance but that's another 5-star review.) They showed up on time and completely the job flawlessly. Nearly a half-year later when I decided the home that I live in should have comparable toilets, I called them up and in less than a week, my family and I were sitting pretty, you might say. Great work. Reliable service. And reasonable prices. That's been my experience.
A sewage pipe cracked in our home creating a leak into our basement. Gidders was able to come out, diagnose, and resolve the problem very efficiently. We had to jackhammer through the floor of our ground level bathroom and finished up leaving the bathroom looking better than it ever did before. Excellent finish work and attention to detail. I would highly recommend this company.
I had a leak problem form an old tub shower, I called Gidders & Sons again after 11 years, they did a great job again with very reasonable price, they are honest and responsible.
Premier Dental Arts ..Patrick is a trustworthy person. Did a great job with very reasonable pricing. Very responsive and punctual. Even helped to call my home warranty to facilitate the claim process. Absolutely win my future business Highly recommended!
I've had ongoing problems with a toilet leaking at the base. Even though I replaced the wax seal several times, it continued to leak. I called Gidders and Sons, and Patrick arrived for the appointment on time. Within minutes he diagnosed the problem and indicated how he would fix it. I was thrilled to hear that the job has a two year warranty, which is unheard of in the plumbing industry. I will definitely use them again for other plumbing problems.
Julia M.Fixed our pipe leak. Quick service, and very reasonable pricing. Will definitely contact them again if needed. Recommend.
Lori T.Referred to Gidders by another plumber. Called, took the day off from work, and no one showed up. Called and spoke with the owner again who totally forgot that I called and that he had set up the appointment. Son Patrick and another kid showed up and seemed lost. Wasted day as he went out to get different parts only to return and head out again. Agreed to pay federal express charges to get the part. Arranged to have water cutoff at condo (T-Th only from 10-2) and Patrick almost missed the window before the water would be turned back in. Part installed and 5 months later, the shower would not turn off. Patrick refused to return but owner did. Took the shower apart and turned off the water. Could not get him to return to fix the problem caused by the part his son recommended. Non-working shower two years later. Paid $350 for this mess and no working shower. Do not understand how this company can still be in business. Filing formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau to get my money refunded.
I have used the rip off artists from My Plumber & Michael Sons in the past. A friend has always suggested using local businesses. I went to Nextdoor & typed in plumbers & Gidders & Sons was the number 1 recommended plumber. I had a slow drain for years that was getting worse & the pop assembly didn't work. I was given an appointment window of 3-5pm & Steve knocked on my door at 2:55. That only speaks volumes. He snaked the tub & told me he believed he could fix the pop up instead of using the one I had purchased from Home Depot. Not only did he fix the pop up he went ahead & tightened the faucet. The charge was beyond reasonable. I will continue to use them as well as recommend them to others who need a plumber. Thank you.
Lizette M.I was introduced to Barney the owner of the company by my electrician. After calling Barney Giddens, I was sent one of the best plumbers, STEVE! Steve is the best by far. Prices were reasonable and fair. I would like to see the rest who are in the plumbing business do the same, great job, fair and reasonable prices. Some plumbing companies are just straight rip offs and high way robbers.
I will recommend Giddens plumbing to anyone who will ask about a good plumber.

Veronica M.We needed work done on our toilet after we tried to install lit ourselves; after a few months it was wobbling and a lot of other things were going on. Gidders & Sons Plumbing responded quickly to my inquiry, came out for the estimate, and returned to complete the work.
The quality of the work was great as well as the timeliness. I will look to them for other projects we may have coming up in the future.
