The IRS considers this as an "Improvement" and has a 27.5 year MACRS depreciation period. Be sure to keep this in mind if/when you sell the property. Part of the sale proceeds can be applied to the remaining value of this asset.
According to the IRS:
"Residential rental property (buildings or structures) and
structural components such as furnaces, waterpipes, venting,
etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.5 years "
