Jacob Boss brings engineering training, military discipline, and six years of hands-on renovation work to every walkthrough — so you know exactly what you’re buying before you sign.
What Gets Checked, System by System
Every inspection covers all major systems of the home — evaluated for safety, function, and structure — on residential and commercial properties alike, whether newly built or generations old.
Roofing & Attic
Covering, flashing, and ventilation checked for storm and humidity wear typical of coastal Georgia roofs.
Structure & Foundation
Tabby, brick pier, and slab foundations common to Savannah’s historic and mid-century homes, checked for settling and moisture intrusion.
Electrical Systems
Panel age and capacity, wiring type, and GFCI/AFCI protection — including outdated wiring found in older Savannah housing stock.
Plumbing & Water Heater
Supply and drain lines, fixtures, and water heater condition, with an eye on the corrosion coastal water can cause.
HVAC
System age, condition, and efficiency evaluated for the demands of Georgia’s humid subtropical climate.
Moisture & Drainage
Crawlspace moisture, site grading, and drainage — the details that matter most in Savannah’s high water table.
Thermal Imaging Scan
Included on every inspection to surface hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots invisible to the naked eye.
Sewer Scope Inspection
Camera inspection of the sewer lateral offered as an add-on — especially valuable for older Savannah homes with clay or cast-iron lines.
Dock Inspection
Decking, pilings, and hardware evaluated for the wear that comes with sitting on Savannah’s tidal marsh and waterways.
Bulkhead & Retaining Wall
Waterfront bulkheads and retaining walls checked for leaning, erosion, and drainage issues before they become structural ones.
Jacob Boss
Owner & Certified Professional InspectorMy name is Jacob Boss. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and have a background in U.S. military service, along with six years of hands-on experience in home renovations — extensive work that taught me how the systems inside a building actually function, not just how they’re supposed to on paper.
I use top-of-the-line report writing tools to translate what I find into something every party in the transaction can actually understand — buyers, sellers, and agents alike — so problems are clearly explained alongside recommended solutions, keeping the negotiation grounded in the facts and moving smoothly.
I’m passionate about educating my clients on the properties they’re considering, so they can make informed decisions. I take pride in my work and back every inspection with a satisfaction guaranteed policy.
