Basic Drilling Co. is a family-owned company based in Apache Junction, Arizona, specializing in construction drilling services since its founding in 1955 by John Harambasic. Originally located in Phoenix, the company relocated eastward as the region developed. Today, Basic Drilling operates statewide as a licensed contractor, focusing on septic tank systems, drywell installations, and foundation drilling for both residential and commercial projects.
What sets Basic Drilling apart is its rich heritage in the industry; the current management team comprises John’s sons and daughters, who have an inherent understanding of the field acquired through years of hands-on experience. This unique background enables them to manage projects with a deep understanding of field conditions, allowing for efficient problem solving. Many of the company's employees have been with Basic Drilling for decades, further enhancing the organization's robust experience and expertise.
Over the years, Basic Drilling has evolved its equipment and techniques—from the use of simple bucket rigs in the 1950s to a modern fleet that includes advanced auger machines, backhoes, and boom trucks today. The company prides itself on being equipped to handle various jobs, ranging from simple drilled holes to complex septic system installations and drywell projects. Regardless of the project size, Basic Drilling Co. ensures that all tasks are completed safely, efficiently, and professionally, highlighting a commitment to quality and integrity that has contributed to its longstanding success in the industry.
