Aging Infrastructure in an Oil Field Town
McCamey was built by oil. The town grew rapidly in the late 1920s after the McCamey oil field discovery and experienced construction waves tied to production cycles over the following decades. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a significant majority of McCamey's housing was built before 1980, with many homes dating to the 1940s and 1950s. These older homes typically have galvanized steel supply lines and cast-iron drain pipes that have exceeded their useful design life.
The Upton County Appraisal District records reflect a housing stock where the median home age exceeds 50 years. Plumbing materials from that era — particularly galvanized steel — were not designed to last beyond 40 to 50 years even under ideal water conditions. In McCamey, where water hardness compounds the corrosion issue, many of these pipes have deteriorated well past the point of reliable service. Low water pressure, rust-colored water, and pinhole leaks are everyday complaints.
We assessed a 1948 bungalow on East 7th Street in McCamey where the homeowner reported persistent low pressure and occasional brown water from the hot side. We cut a test section of galvanized pipe in the attic and found the interior opening reduced to the diameter of a pencil by decades of mineral buildup. A PEX-A repipe of the entire supply system took two days and transformed the home's water quality and pressure overnight.
Wind Energy Growth Brings New Construction to McCamey
McCamey has positioned itself as the "Wind Energy Capital of Texas," with multiple large-scale wind farms operating in Upton County and the surrounding area. According to the American Clean Power Association, Texas leads the nation with over 40,000 megawatts of installed wind capacity, and the McCamey area hosts several major projects including facilities operated by Invenergy and NextEra Energy. This wind energy development brings construction crews, permanent operations staff, and supporting businesses that need housing and commercial space with reliable plumbing.
New construction tied to the wind energy economy ranges from individual homes for permanent workers to small commercial buildings for service companies. We provide plumbing rough-in and trim-out for these projects, ensuring every installation meets the International Plumbing Code and passes inspection. Our experience with both residential and commercial systems makes us a natural fit for the varied construction needs that energy development creates in small communities like McCamey.

Why McCamey Chooses Resolv Services
Small communities like McCamey have limited access to licensed plumbers.

Emergency Plumbing for McCamey and Upton County
When a plumbing emergency hits in McCamey, Resolv Services responds quickly. Contact us and a licensed plumber will answer, provide immediate phone guidance to contain the problem, and dispatch a crew. At 65 miles from Odessa, our emergency response time to McCamey averages about one to one and a half hours door-to-door.
Common emergencies we handle in McCamey include burst galvanized pipes, failed water heaters, backed-up sewer lines, and gas leaks. For gas leaks, we always instruct callers to evacuate immediately and call 911 before anything else. Once everyone is safe, we respond to locate and repair the leak using electronic gas detection equipment and systematic pressure testing of the line.
The best emergency is the one that never happens. Annual plumbing inspections catch deteriorating pipes, failing water heater anodes, and slow-building drain obstructions before they become urgent. McCamey homeowners should schedule at least one professional inspection per year — especially in homes built before 1970.
McCamey was founded as an oil boom town in 1926, and many of its residential neighborhoods date to the 1930s-1950s expansion. This aging housing stock presents some of the most deteriorated plumbing we encounter in our service area. Original galvanized water lines have lost as much as 75 percent of their interior diameter to corrosion and mineral deposits, while clay sewer laterals have cracked, shifted, and allowed root intrusion at nearly every joint.
The most cost-effective solution for homes with pervasive plumbing deterioration is a full repipe with PEX-A supply lines and Schedule 40 PVC drains — a project that typically takes two to three days and eliminates decades of accumulated problems.
McCamey has branded itself the 'Wind Energy Capital of Texas,' and the wind farms surrounding the town have brought new construction activity to an area that saw little development for decades. New homes, support facilities, and commercial buildings for wind energy workers require plumbing that meets current code — a significant step up from the aging systems in McCamey's existing housing stock. We provide complete new construction plumbing from design consultation through final inspection, ensuring proper sizing for Upton County's hard water conditions and compliance with all applicable codes.
