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?
Bypassed the pipe by getting the new pipe laid.

The plumber who advised you to leave it, you can stop getting his advice in the future. The leak will only get worse & it may cause a sinkhole. The cost to repair a sinkhole is more costly than the 1.8k or 2.8k.
