15 yr old double storey terrace house. Recently, noticed water bill keep climbing. Normally around RM8 but latest bill around RM40.

After consulting two plumbers, they tell me that the pipe leading to the water tank / kitchen from the mains is leaking but unable to identify the location. So the solution is to pull a new pipe from the mains up to the water tank, and then to the rear of the house, come back down to the kitchen at the back.

The quote I got is RM1800 for polypipe, and RM2800 for stainless steel 304 pipe. One of the plumbers even said that the leak is relatively minor so maybe just leave it for now.

Appreciate thoughts of those who had done this before. What would you do in this situation? Which type of pipe would you go for?

price are around there.. i did for 2 of my houses recently.. single storey around 1200 and double storey around 1600.. mine starting from 20>40>60>80.. now less than RM15.. 2 months once for the billing.. the amount of leaks is unexpectable and the volume of water leak can fit a swimming pool.. somemore get penalty in bill for wasting water..

i just went to poly..
