Green Building Practices
Black Cat Plumbing is a familiar name in the local green building community, we have worked on a multitude of LEED certified and sustainable building projects, installed plenty of recycled fixtures, and worked with the City of Portland on pilot fixture programs.
As a leader in Green Plumbing Technology we enjoy the struggle between "the old way of doing things" and the modern technology of the trade.
We strive to remain teachable as technology changes.

Waterless Fixtures
On your next visit to the Eco-Trust building in the Pearl, check out the waterless urinals we installed in the second and third floor men's room. Also we installed the first indoor commercial composing toilet at the offices of the Multnomah County Division of Soil & Water Conservation on N. Williams.
Recycled Fixtures
Check out the remodeled offices at the Rebuilding Center on N Mississippi Ave. We plumbed for and installed all those perfectly used fixtures. Also, most of the fixtures we remove are donated to the Rebuilding Center.
