It was nice having known you Mr. Faucet

A house may survive for hundreds of years. But the individual components that make up the house may -- or may not -- be as resilient

How long will my house last? Good question and one that has a lot of implications. If you bought a new home several years ago, what are some of the things you should be budgeting for in the near future to keep your home in good repair? And if you're thinking about buying an existing home, what are some things you should be looking at very closely to see what kind of shape they're in?

The answer to how long my house will last varies based on what part of the home you're talking about. Some components are going to last longer than others based on the materials they're made of. Some will simply go out of style. And some components will need to be replaced sooner than others because they receive more daily wear and tear. Learn more about household component lifespans.
