I had a plumbing leak in my rental property that caused damage in the wall, sub-floor and tile. The property manager hired a contractor to repair the drywall, sub-floor and replace the flooring. I'm having trouble distinguishing whether or not this is considered a repair or an improvement.

Repair is in the name. I think you would have a hard time arguing this was an improvement to the IRS. If it is about getting something back up to where it was, it is a repair.
