Friendly, fast and effortless is how I'd describe Briton Backflow & Irrigation! As a first time homeowner, I wasn't aware of my yearly responsibility to do a Backflow test - may have been apart of the massive pile of paperwork during closing but can you blame me if I forgot! When I called, Jan explained the whole process to me and told me that all I had to do is give them my address, they'll stop by before the due date given by the city and they'll even submit the report for me. Best part, I didn't even need to be home! read more

Tim Bruton really knows his stuff and runs an honest business. I thought I was dealing with a pricey sprinkler repair, but it turned out I just didn't know how the system worked. Even before diagnosing any problems he took the time to explain everything about my sprinkler system and walked me through how to use it properly. As a new homeowner, that was super helpful. You can tell he's been doing this for years - he made it all easy to understand. Plus, he's a great guy - super friendly with a good sense of humor. Definitely recommend! read more

Through crossed wires, our multi-family property accidentally scheduled 2 backflow tests. We passed the first test, however Bruton failed our 2nd test and followed up on our failed test with another quote to come in and "fix" the issue. Because they reported our failed test to the City of Beaverton, we were under threat of having our water shut off if we did not fix the issue that led to our failed test. On a hunch, our maintenance supervisor scheduled a 3rd test and same as the first, we passed "with flying colors". The person that conducted the 3rd test was baffled that our system had failed. Given that we passed 2 tests with zero issue, but were failed by Bruton, followed up by another estimate of charges to come out and "fix" what wasn't broken, I find this business to be highly suspect and would be weary of using a company that has the power to literally hold your water for ransom unless you bring them back and pay them more money to "fix" the issues that 2 other companies confirmed didn't exist. read more

Very professional business, they say what they will do and then do what they say they will. I'm a professional contractor in town that needed to replace our previous backflow tester. We found them! read more

Tim has great knowledge of irrigation systems. Sprinkler heads were replaced or adjusted as needed. Leaks in our drip system were addressed and fixed. Office staff are terrific as well. Professional and personable. Highly recommend. Great team! read more

I have used them before Very professional, courteous, reply in a satisfactory time This time the company could not help me but did refer to another company read more

I don't normally post reviews, but I am very happy with Burton Backflow! My backflow system test failed and, after much searching and some really high quotes, Bruton Backflow fixed a minor problem for less than $70.00, including the re-test, rather than charging 500 to over $1100 to replace the whole system, as others quoted. My only complaint is that I almost paid much more because they didn't get the quote to me when they said they would and only sent it after I told them I had chosen another company. read more

Tim was Awesome! He was prompt, exceptionally knowledgeable and very personable. He walked me through the steps as he was testing our backflow device which was informative and interesting. He also gave me helpful information about my sprinkler system which was great. When I mentioned that I couldn't find my main water shut off to our house he immediately went over to the area where I thought it was and was able to locate it in less than a minute. I was impressed and extremely thankful. Exceptional customer service! I would highly recommend this team. Tracy R read more

I was looking for a backflow test, and was happy with Bruton's scheduling & pre-service. They got good yelp reviews, so I reached out online. I got a quick response, with pricing and instructions on how to schedule/order. They have a website where you can get your appointment started, which is nice. And their pricing seemed quite fair. I ended up getting the backflow testing covered for free this year by the company who had installed my underground sprinkler. So had to call Bruton and cancel my appointment. Their office staff was very friendly and accommodating. My experience with them was positive enough that I wanted to drop a positive review here, and I'll certainly give them a shot in future years for backflow testing and sprinkler repairs as needed. read more

I have been using them for the last 7 years or so for my Backflow testing , winterization , summer water opening and retesting . They faulted last year when they did not send anybody to do sprinkler testing as they were "SO BUSY", anyway my gardener did that . This time to stay ahead of the game I requested service 3 months ago so it is done on time. Till date I have send them multiple reminders, e-mails, phone message you name it - no response . We atre hitting 90 degrees next week and I still don't have my sprinklers working - pathetic service I must say - will not use them again for sure read more

When we bought our house in Gresham three years ago the sellers could not give us any information about the complicated irrigation system. This is probably a common situation. So when the system failed to operate properly this spring we had no clue what was wrong. So we started calling residential irrigation companies to find someone to come out, discover what was wrong, and repair it before the hot weather began. We called four or five companies and only got one call back, and that one was so booked they could not help soon enough. Then fortunately we called Bruton Backflow. They answered the phone (which was a pleasant surprise) and squeezed in a technician in two days. jim Bruton came out to look at our mess. Within one hour he had conducted a long series of tests that lead him to an undiscovered valve box that contained a broken valve that had caused the problem. And all the while he was pleasant and informative and taught us many important things about our messy system we did not know. This is the most responsive, knowledgeable, and efficient company we ever encountered. Truly a pleasure to pass on our experience with this five-star company! read more

I have used Bruton Backflow's services (winterization, backflow test, spring activation) since October 2020. I'm very inquisitive, and both Tim and Matt have been great about answering my questions about the backflow preventer and the irrigation system in general. They even taught me how to shut down the irrigation system in winter and open it up in spring so that I don't need to hire them to do it. So awesome! They are friendly, courteous, and careful not to damage plants surrounding the backflow preventer and main irrigation shutoff valve. Today, my neighbor came by because their backflow tester was a no-show. I was very happy to recommend Bruton Backflow. They're the best! read more

Tim is the Irrigation Whisperer! Amazing work! Professional, knowledgeable, showed me how to fix my sprinkler system. Outstanding!!!! read more

I have been using Bruton for a couple of years now, not only at my personal home but through my business as well. Their techs are always very friendly and informative and the office staff is great as well! I myself do not know much about sprinkler systems so when I ask questions that I feel may be stupid, they still respond with clarity and respect. If you need something as minor as a backflow test or even up to major repairs on your system I highly recommend using Bruton! read more

Bruton completes my annual Backflow testing every year. They are VERY easy to do business with. Easy to schedule an appointment, easy to pay, and most important of all they submit the testing results to the city without any effort from me. I literally let them know I need the testing done and everything is handled from there. A+!! read more

Excellent company! Needed to fix a few sprinkler zones. Tim came over and did a complete assessment/evaluation. Fixed what needed fixing. Did backflow check and all of the paperwork associated with it! No fuss! The only suggestion I have is to call them in advance as their schedule gets full very fast. read more

Since posting my review, Burton Backflow has reached out and sincerely apologized. They even paid for our test from the other company. We really appreciate them trying to make it right and using this situation as a learning opportunity. read more

Tim came out to do a backflow test and we had a very pleasant experience. He was VERY knowledgeable and friendly. He also talked with us after the test and advised us on our irrigation system which we really appreciated. Great job all around, he really went above and beyond his scope of work. read more

"As good as it gets" is an apt description of this company. One of the unexpected joys of moving to Oregon is living in close proximity to many kind, friendly and generous souls. Tim Bruton is the epitome of this. He is eminently knowledgeable, unfailingly kind and generous in sharing his considerable wisdom. I echo the comments of previous reviewers that he went above and beyond, and that the price/value of his service is exceptional. My only regret is that I didn't call his company sooner. read more

Just wrapped up with Tim Bruton of Bruton Backflow. I had them on the schedule to review a backflow device that needed to be 'replaced' according to a lot of other providers. Tim diagnosed the problem in 2 minutes and fixed it in another 30. Other shops wanted to charge me $1800-$2000 for a full replacement that was not even warranted. Which, also, would have cost a fraction of that based on Tim's estimate if I had wanted to go that route. Overall amazing service and price. Tim really knows his stuff. I'm a customer for life! read more

Soeedy service and fast response as well! One thing less to worry about, Bruton services has my backflow testing covered.

Tim was excellent- incredibly thorough and explained things well. Impressed. Had Bruton out fir irrigation/sprinkler winterization.

Tim is the best. His goal is to make you self-sufficient in managing your own system, which I really appreciate.

I found that something was leaking in my irrigation system on Friday 8/04 so after looking on Yelp I called a few places with good ratings. Bruton was the only one I called who could get out by Monday 8/07. This worried me a bit because some of the other companies were booking out til November! Anyhow, Matt showed up for our scheduled appointment on time and got right to work finding the leak and fixing it. It was a large hole in my drip system and the tubing hose had separated as well. He repaired it and asked if I needed any help with other irrigation issues. He then went to work re-programming my sprinkler system and replaced and adjusted a head that wasn't aimed properly. He answered my questions about a watering schedule and was very helpful. When he left he said if I had any questions or if something was still not right to give them a call. He said they would email an invoice. I got it today and it seems very reasonable. I will call Bruton with any future issues with my sprinklers. read more

Don't you love when people just do what you need them do do, and do it well? That's Bruton. My husband installed our backflow preventer and we needed it tested to pass inspection. We called on a Monday, they came on a Tuesday, repaired it to bring it up to snuff, and were on their way. Easy and painless, and reasonably priced, considering the great service. Online billing is also a huge plus - I hate having to mail a check, and there's is totally automated so it couldn't be easier. I wish all service was this good! read more

Tim & his crew are the best! I had a huge water bill due to a leak which Tim found while he was doing my annual back flow testing. He repaired the leak & also helped me with a sprinkler system "adjustment" which he re directed some of my sprinkler heads. He also gave me some raised spray heads for my garden & berries. Great guy who has saved me lots on my water bill just with a few adjustments! Can't go wrong with this family owned business read more

Tim is dependable, kind, quick to respond, talented and provides the best service ever. He even came miles and miles to our home during a snow storm to fix a broken/leaking sprinkler system. read more

It would be hard for me to overstate what a stand-up guy Tim is. He happened to be at my sister-in-law's home when we arrived for a visit. He made an unscheduled stop well past the end of his normal work hours because he had completed a job in the neighborhood and knew my sis needed the help (even though her appointment was scheduled for a future date). I know Tim because he also takes care of our sprinklers. I always enjoy learning from him and he is more than willing to share his knowledge. I took the opportunity to describe an issue we are having (one zone is not activating). He spent 10 minutes with me going over potential sources and solves for our issue and said he was more than happy to look at a pic of the offending valve junction and could advise me further. That is just the type of person Tim is. If Tim could take 10 minutes at 6:45pm to talk sprinklers with him I can take 5 minutes to write a positive review of this outstanding gentleman and his company. read more

I really appreciate Tim's help with my backflow testing and sprinkler repairs. I was a few minutes late getting home, and he had already nearly finished my annual backflow test. He then helped troubleshoot some of the wiring for our sprinkler system, which included some tricky crossed wires and buried connections. It did not look like an easy repair, and am thankful that our broken zone 5 is up and working again. Finally, Tim helped me adjust a few sprinkler heads and showed me how to do it myself for future adjustments. Thank you! read more

Outstanding service! Tim came to help me with my malfunctioning sprinkler system and he fixed it very fast. I am very pleased. Thank you Tim Bruton! read more

Excellent service - most professional company we have used for backflow to date. Arrived on time, showed me his work. Spent an hour flushing everything - other companies spent way less time. Will use again. read more

I could not have asked for a better experience with Tim. Being a new homeowner who was pretty unfamiliar with irrigation systems, I scheduled an appointment to have Tim do a diagnostic on my sprinkler system. Not only did he completely resolve any issues I had, but he took the time to ensure optimal water delivery and to explain every aspect of my system to me for future reference. I will absolutely be giving Tim and Bruton Backflow & Irrigation my business again, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone with sprinkler/irrigation/backflow needs. read more

We've used Bruton Backflow for a couple of years now. They are good at what they do and they are reasonably priced. We'll be customers for a long time! read more

Could not recommend a better company to work with! Our marina had a very short time frame to get our backflow test done according to DEQ requirements, and Bruton Backflow got us scheduled within the week. Tim Bruton was above and beyond kind when he made an additional trip at no cost to give us a free replacement lid for our backflow box. He was also very thorough and professional in providing us with pictures of his findings. The total for our backflow test was $35, We look forward to working with Bruton Backflow for years to come. read more

Tim used to work for Womack and did backflow testing and specialized in sprinkler systems. He did my annual backflow testing for years, and had him repair a major underground leak in my sprinklers. Had a hard time finding Tim since he started his own business but I needed my whole system checked out as I was having lots of issues and I wanted him to do it. Tim found several cracked heads and a cracked elbow due to having my lawn aerated, as well as replacing several nozzles to water more effectively. He straightened out the leaning ones, and raised up some that were too far below the surface. He also fixed the ones that weren't popping up all the way. And he reset my control panel to water more efficiently for my steep clay soil lawn, plus he showed me how to program it since I misplaced the owners manual. Tim is a real pro, and if you want it done right he is your guy. Highly recommended. read more
