    I have water in my floor sometimes that I can not figure where it comes from. It stands in middle of my kitchen floor. It has happened 3 times so far and occurred about a week and 1/2 apart. It is about 2 ft in front of my sink. No water at the sink or under the sink and no water around my dishwasher or refrigarator. I have hard wood floors and my house is built on a slab. Any suggestions.

    How much water are we talking about? Shape and diameter of puddle? Can you detect a low spot in the floor with a straightedge or 4' level spanning over the spot? Clear water or any coloration? Pets?
    If the water were ground water coming up through the slab, then through hardwood joints I would expect it to be difficult to clean up because as you cleared out the standing water, more would come in- probably. And if there were ground water with that much force, I think you would see water problems in the yard and possibly elsewhere in and around the house.
