About Adams Testing Service

Adams Testing Service was built from nothing but a driveway, a credit card, and a relentless drive to do things better. What started as a small idea has grown into a company recognized across multiple basins for one thing — doing the job right, every single time.

We don’t just build trucks. We build systems our employees believe in — and our customers trust — because they were engineered from real-world experience, tested under pressure, and refined by people who take pride in their work.

Every job we take on is an opportunity — a chance to prove that innovation and integrity still matter in this industry. From design to deployment, every ATS service is backed by years of hands-on knowledge, data-driven precision, and a reputation earned the hard way — in the field.

We’re still a small business at heart — just one that happens to run the most advanced automated hydrotesting and EMI scanning systems in the market.

“ALWAYS DELIVER MORE THAN EXPECTED”.

Adams Testing Service, Inc. — Growth Timeline

From shower trailers and credit cards to automated hydrotesting & multi-basin scale.

We started in a driveway with a credit card and a plan. What began as one shower trailer and a whole lot of grit grew into a multi-million-dollar, multi-basin operation — powered by automation, data you can prove, and a team that never stopped pushing.

  1. 2018

    Founded

    • April 2018 – Adams Testing Service, Inc. founded.
    • Dylan Adams, Regina Adams, & Dustin Adams + 1 brave investor decided to turn shower trailers into a business plan — and somehow, it worked.

    May 2018 Bust Out the Amex

    • When the business account was just a dream, the Amex got the call.
    • First shower trailer purchased — and the moment it rented, the first minimum payment actually felt worth it.
  2. 2019

    Expansion

    January 2019 Six Shower Trailers

    • From one trailer to six — proof that coffee, grit, and a little credit can go a long way.

    February 2019 New Service Added

    • Introduced containment rentals, building the foundation for a full‑service rental package.
    • Moved from the driveway into our first shop — no yard, but a big step up.

    October 2019 Innovation Begins

    • Began developing an automated hydrotest truck aimed to replace conventional testing methods and, let’s be honest, prove that robots could do it better.

    December 2019 Growth in Motion

    • By year’s end, ATS was following 7 full‑time frac fleets with 8 shower trailers, 3 air compressors, and 1 vac trailer — all operated by the same founding crew.
    • Long hours, coffee, diesel fumes, and determination kept the wheels turning.

    December 2019 First Patent Filed

    March 2020 First Hydrotest Truck Completed

    • After months of testing, we finished the industry’s first fully automated hydrotest truck — rolled it out just before COVID hit.
