Water on the floor is almost always a dead give away. We say "almost" always because on occasion we have been called out to find the dog's water bowl was tipped over or the kids were having a really good time in the tub.

First, if the amount of water is small, dry it up and wait to see if it returns. If it does, potentially you have a slab leak or a water leak coming from another source.
