Our Family

Bradley & Son’s is a family-owned and operated business, serving the Central Valley for more than 40 years, through three generations of Bradley’s.


The company started in 1976 when Doug and Kim Bradley saw that there was a growing need in the valley for domestic water well-drilling and pump services. They liked the idea of being their own bosses and building something that their sons could be a part of, so they reached out to other family members who had already been established in the agricultural business. Those family members were interested in expanding into domestic water-supply systems and Bradley & Son’s Well Drilling was born.


Their sons, Rick and Rod Bradley, run the business now. Both of them started at the ground floor and have worked and gained experience in every aspect of the business – from digging trenches to installing pumps to drilling long hours far from home and more. While they are glad to now be managing the company operations, they still do not hesitate to get their hands dirty.


Bradley & Son’s is now into our third-generation of Bradley family members working in the business. We also have several employees that have been with our company 10, 20, even 30 years! They have become family as well as an important part of our team.


Our business has grown and changed through the years, but one thing has remained constant – our commitment to providing excellent customer service to all of our customers! And, as Mom (Kim) says (and painted on the office wall as a constant reminder):


“Promise only what you can deliver, then deliver more than you promise”

What It's Like to Work with Bradley & Sons

“Walking onto a recent jobsite in a shopping center, my first impression of the Bradley & Sons crew was one of unexpected sensitivity, an awareness of their surroundings and the goal of minimal disruption. While this job was in a neighborhood, they’re also accustomed to other locations like yards, fields and municipalities.


“The rig was drilling. Out of the ground and into the slough came pebbles, sand, mud, and of course, water. The workers analyzed the “mud” and disposed it into special mud disposal containers. This particular well was shallow, around 150’. They were checking for suspected ground water contamination from a leaky sewer line. A simple job for the Bradley & Sons rigs, which drill at any level from 20 to 1500+ feet.


“The geologist engineer was on site and after studying the log, he selected two levels for water sampling. Using the crews trimming capability, multiple seals would be inserted between and above the sampling levels to guarantee a quality sampling. This well-clustering is cost effective, in some cases eliminating the need to drill multiple sampling wells.


“I asked about other uses for direct mud rotary drilling and was introduced to existing well development. Bradley & Sons uses a combination of jetting, swabbing, brushing, airlifting, and pumping to revive a previously poor producing well. They also locate water for new wells and are trained to handle hazardous material operations.


“Talking with the site engineer, I asked why he selected Bradley & Sons for this job. His answer was quick and sure. “They don’t cut corners—they do it right. They listen. They know what they’re doing and they have a good reputation.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.


At the end of the day, the site was cleaned, barricaded and photos were taken – for the record”
