About

Their first well drilling machine, a cable tool percussion drill, was purchased from Jack Faw at Drillers Services, Inc. in Hickory, North Carolina. Mr. Faw had just started his business, a supply house for water well drillers, just a short time earlier. When the brothers realized they could make a living drilling wells, they both left Cone Mills and began working full time at Camp Brothers. Jimmy started working with his father, J.W., and Uncle Raleigh from the very beginning after school, on Saturdays and during the summers. He accompanied them to drill the very first well when he was only nine years old.

The company purchased their first air rotary drill in 1968. This machine had compressed air power and was much faster to operate and get the well drilled. Over the course of time, the company began installing pumps in the wells that were drilled as well as service work on other pumps and plumbing. With installing and servicing pumps came more equipment in the form of pump hoists in order to install and pull the pumps quicker. Trenchers were added to take care of the water lines and electrical lines. Hydro-fracturing equipment was purchased as soon as it was available to well drillers to try to obtain more gallons per minute in a well.

The company was incorporated as Camp’s Well & Pump Co., Inc. in 1978 with J.W. and Jimmy running the business and everyday operations.
