About Southern California Well Service
SCWS was founded in 2020, but our team's well industry experience goes back decades. Our founders learned from legendary well companies in Southern California:
- Brighton Scala trained with Joe Fain at Fain Drilling (60+ years in business)
- Travis Sego started at 14 with his uncle at Sam Crum Well Drilling
Acquiring Ransom Pump and Heritage Well Service added even more expertise to our team. When we say "60+ years of combined family heritage," it's not marketing — it's our actual history.
