Origin Story
Growing up in SE Portland with access to ample water sources or “blue spaces” such as Johnson Creek, the wetlands of Oaks Bottom and the Willamette River—these were places to connect with Nature.
Jackson’s connection to the Land and Water here has grown over the years. With it, a commitment to keeping Portland drinking water clean and safe, and reducing consumption through greater efficiency.
Imagine a plumbing company that was founded on such a commitment. A company that uses the best modern technology to reduce its carbon footprint in innovative ways like the use of electric vehicles and cargo bikes. A company that values community, equality and justice while providing the best plumbing services the City of Roses has to offer.
This is Blue Crow Plumbing.
