Who is American Backflow & Plumbing

Local and family run Backflow service company.

"Our Story: We were established in 1981 by two brothers: Tony and Brian Johnston. We worked out of Tony’s garage for the first 2 years then moved to a rented space for a year. Now we are located at 5623 SE Center St. Portland, OR in our "forever home". After a while, we were joined by younger brother Mike Johnston and then soon after, our final brother (in-law) Kyle Harms. Our vision from the beginning was to provide uncompromising service and value to the customer. We have always understood the”golden rule” and have sought to implement that ideal not only to our customers but to our employees also. We opened a branch in Seattle, Washington in 2014. We now have 2 full time technicians there. We have grown into 18 full time people!"
