If this was your own home, no, you cannot deduct anything.   Repairs and maintenance for your own home are not deductible.   Save your receipts/bills for someday when you sell the house.

if it was rental property deduct as a repair.   if your home, then unless it was caused by a natural disaster in a declared natural disater area, there is no deduction.
