Hi,

Discover recent hike in water bill, 100% increase, discover water pipe leak.

Landed double storey link House 30+ yrs de, last reno also 30 yrs de.

Plan to lay new expose pipe, link after water  meter, run through the living room till kitchen, and connect to upstairs water storage tank.

Korek tanah not cost effective.

Questions is

1) What cost effective materials pipe to use?
2) Should increase pipe size? (Existing 1/2")
3) Can DIY the whole pipeline or better use sifu?

Advise are welcome.

Has been closing the main water valve all the time. Open only when family want to bath, washing cloths and cooking. Luckily got water tank, can stock up some water.
