Your cleaning professional should be able to give you an estimate on how long they believe the job will take.

While temporarily inconvenient, repiping a house is not super invasive. Depending on the size of your home, the project can take a few days to a week. During that time, plumbers may turn your water off here and there, but you won’t be without water the whole time. If you’re worried about living in your home during this renovation, you can always stay with friends or family or book a hotel room.

Cleaning your trash cans lightly once per week and then disinfecting and doing a deep clean at least once per month is the best way to prevent trash can odors. You can also invest in some garbage can deodorizers to combat odors or lay down a dryer sheet or a thin layer of baking soda in the bottom of the can under the bag. Replace the deodorizer once every month or every other month, depending on how well it works over time.

The average cost of routine home maintenance is about 1% to 4% of your home’s total value every year. Larger projects like replacing a roof or repairing a foundation may end up costing you more, but it’s a good idea to set aside money for maintenance costs every year so you can keep your home in good shape.
