The Pinnacle EMS Difference
At Pinnacle EMS, it’s our mission to remove the financial barriers and administrative burden associated with leaking UST cleanup and regulatory compliance by utilizing our extensive industry experience, established relationships, powerful data tools, and efficient process on behalf of our clients.
Time and time again, our clients return to Pinnacle EMS because we always deliver in the following areas:
Efficiency
Our clients save time and money through our streamlined processes and recover cleanup costs that far exceed our service fees.
Expertise
Our team members have a wealth of knowledge on an array of issues about UST cleanup funds for our clients and state regulators alike.
Advocacy
We work with policymakers and other stakeholders to get your costs reimbursed. Our advocacy has provided key insights into funding and the latest policy interpretations.
Independence
We are independent of the UST cleanup process altogether. Our unique position provides us the opportunity to confirm that all costs expended are contractually authorized and then recovered promptly from State Cleanup Funds or insurance policies.
Innovation
Whether it’s managing commingled plumes, processing and archiving historical documents, or analyzing the environmental liabilities of real estate, Pinnacle EMS has continued to evolve and design new solutions to accommodate its clients.
Women-Owned Business
Pinnacle EMS was founded by Cynthia Williams in 1996 and is a Woman-Owned Business certified nationally by the WBENC, as well as locally within the state of Florida’s Office of Supplier Diversity. While obtaining the best results for our clients, we can also help ensure that our customers can simultaneously exceed or meet their own supplier diversity goals. This also includes bolstering contract bids by adding Pinnacle EMS as a proposed subcontractor.
