Canal-front homes and Gulf coast living in west Pasco. Clay and his team inspect Port Richey homes from the seawall to the roof.
Port Richey is a small waterfront city in west Pasco County where the Pithlachascotee River meets the Gulf of Mexico. It's known for its boating lifestyle and canal-front homes, along with older single-family homes, manufactured homes, and waterfront restaurants and marinas. Tampa Bay Inspections, led by Clay Schleitwiler, CMI®, a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI4562), serves home buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Port Richey.
Waterfront properties here often come with seawalls, docks, and boat lifts, which face constant salt water exposure and storms, and repairs can be costly. Coastal homes also face storm surge and flooding risks, so signs of past water intrusion and the quality of repairs deserve a careful look. Older homes often need a four-point inspection and roof certification for insurance, and manufactured homes need attention to supports and under-floor systems.
Our seawall and dock inspections are visual evaluations, with a recommendation for a marine contractor when findings warrant, and every home can benefit from a wind mitigation inspection. Pools can be inspected at the same visit too. Clay and his team walk clients through their findings, explain everything in plain English, and deliver a detailed report with photos, typically the same day. Call 813-476-1561 to schedule your Port Richey inspection.
