Question:

Water seeping through floor?

We woke up this morning to a flood on our living room. It did not drip from above and we have no idea where it can from not the bathroom or the kitchen either. We live in underground apt with tile floor is it possible it is seeping through the tile?

Answer:

if the water s dirty, i would say it is coming from underneath, if it is clean water, i would say you have a pipe leak somewhere
Sure sounds like it. Maybe they have broken drains/tiles underneath.
A water line under your floor must have burst. If your floor is on a concrete slab foundation, that's what happened. It happens a lot. Sorry to hear about that. You may as well ge a plumber to come over as soon as possible. Otherwise it will just get worse and worse.
With a tiled floor it can be deceiving as a leak can run across the floor and it's trail dry out. Water shouldn't be able to get through the tiles, unless there is a crack somewhere which you would see. Are there any damp or discoloured patches around the walls, particularly lower down? Ingress through the walls is more likely than through a tiled floor.
