Gidders & Sons Plumbing
Company Overview
We address the most complex plumbing and gas issues. This encompasses essential service tasks like 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 task requires various snakes and cameras to remove the clogs and visually determine the source.
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 established his plumbing company in 2003 to deliver expert services mainly to residential customers. We decided against traditional advertising, aiming to do such a good job that clients would share our name with their friends. This philosophy is the cornerstone of our business.

Recommended Customer Reviews
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.
I refer and recommend Gidders Plumbing, they are the service for our managed rental properties. They are very reliable and trustworthy and fair priced. Just the other day I called their service late at night expecting to just leave a voicemail message for a job the following day and Barney, the business owner answered the phone. They are dedicated and polite and very professional. I recommend them for any plumbing need you have. Great service.
The worst plumbers I ever hired. The were sloppy and had no idea what they were doing. Came three times and caused more issues. I had to hirer another plumber to fix what they did. JR Mclean
Rusty M.I have been using Barney for many years. I am a general contractor and have found him very knowledgeable. He is one of the few contractor that comes out and meets with the inspectors. He does very large jobs and smaller jobs as well. I'm about to do a large job in Great Falls and plan on using him again. I highly recommend this company.
Petals J.Some Kind of Awesome! Pat and Chris work ethics, professionalism, quick response time and the fair pricing was a true ""Blessing"". They provided ""Excellent"" services. They go beyond the call of duty to ensure that the job is complete! I am very satisfied the service I received and was compelled to compile this review. My expectation was exceeded beyond measure! These Guys are some kind of Awesome!!!!
I am professsional general contractor and Patrick is my go to plumber for jobs big and small, he always is prompt and will get the job done right even if it means making extrs trips back to a property.
This is, by far, the worst plumber in the history of Virginia.
I challenge ANY potential customer to ask Barney about ANY of these following incidents that happened at ""the collingham home""
Paid $400 for permits. Rough-in inspection comes and the inspector tells me no permits were pulled. Barney blames his son.
2nd try on inspection. Turns out gas line permits weren't pulled. Blames his son.
Tells me piping going on exterior wall will be properly insulated. Puts up garbage plastic pipes that extend into the attic, no elbows or anything. LEAVES THE WATER ON DURING THE WINTER AND ABSOLUTELY FLOODS THE HOME RESULTING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE.
Re-pipes it with soft copper but ONCE AGAIN DOESN'T INSULATE IT OR ELBOW IT. JUST GIANT LOOPS THROWN INTO MY ATTIC.
When he finally puts of ""the best insulation,"" it's the cheapest home-depot styrofoam you can buy. He didn't even put the quality stuff that costs $2 more on it.
On two different faucets that his sons did, they had to be completely re-done.
We give him the exact dimensions of a cabinet and the instructions to our stove to stub out a gasline. We drywall over, suprise surprise, he stubbed it out wrong. When he reroutes it, he puts the shutoff valve FLUSH AGAINST THE STUD. HOW THE HELL DO YOU DRYWALL THAT.
Backed into by truck with his van.
I am PROUD to say I have discouraged DOZENS of people from using Gidders and sons.
What an absolute embarassment of a plumber and a family.
Our water heater tank failed and our unit had to be replaced. Barney stopped by over the weekend to look the job over and he and his son replaced the unit on Monday. Excellent customer service and the installation was professionally done. I would have given 5 stars except for: I asked for an in kind replacement and they replaced with a lower efficiency unit. In the end it was a fair price and great service.
Great, knowledgeable employees! Barney came and assessed our water heater issue and gave me smart reasonable options.
