Meet Lee Clyne, the person behind PinPoint
PinPoint Natural Gas Services is an owner-operated compliance contractor built on years of hands-on field experience and a simple belief: high-quality natural gas services should be affordable and personal.
My story
From utility leak survey to small-business owner
Hi, I’m Lee Clyne. I’ve worked in the natural gas industry for more than seven years, and along the way I’ve seen a growing demand for compliance services that are both exceptional and cost-effective.
I spent four years in CenterPoint Energy’s Leak Survey department, conducting leak investigations with the help of Picarro technology and walking surveys wherever Picarro couldn’t reach. From there, I spent two years at Utility Safety and Design Inc., where my work grew beyond leak survey into performance evaluations, plans and manuals, Office of Pipeline Safety inspections and other compliance work for clients.
I started PinPoint Natural Gas Services to bring that experience directly to utilities, municipalities and private operators, with the responsiveness and personal attention only a small business can offer. Running PinPoint has strengthened my technical expertise, sharpened my project management skills and built strong relationships with clients across the natural gas sector.
