Does spending $16 to replace water lines in house due to pex pipes leaking due to chlorine in water, plus more to repair walls and Sheetrock and paint count toward taxes?

No. Repairs to your own home are not deductible.

No. Unless your loss was caused by a federally declared disaster, it is not deductible.

Also, see IRS Topic No. 515: Casualty, Disaster, and Theft Losses
