It is a must to find out where this water is coming , in order to fix, repair, dry. You may have to remove flooring to examine. Moisture and water can only add more problems if not fixed. You could end up with water damage, mold, and mildew, which can cause health issues. You can try to investigate this yourself or a professional- Here is a link that may help with this issue - www.accutechrestoration.com/
Is this water doing this in one room? Is the area located on the outside perimeter of the house or is this a room inside/middle of the house like an inside bathroom or laundry area?
How long has this been happening? Have you had heavy rains or flooding near your house or in the area?
Have you had freezing weather that could have busted some of your water pipes?
Somehow you are going to have to find out where the water is coming from.
Do you know how to turn off your main water supply going into your house? It will be outside near your house usually but you may have an inside cut-off. If you do not know where the main cut-off valve is located you will have to find someone that can help you find it.
This has to be the first step because you may have a busted pipe that may be located inside or underneath the concrete floor.
If you are renting/leasing you need to call your landlord/manager and tell them about this problem ASAP.
If it is your home then you'll have to find the water source first before you can make a decision about what to do next.
You should probably talk to someone that can help you locate the source of the problems; maybe a friend or family member but do not wait because water will not stop on its on and every minute counts with stopping the flow.
Your ground is saturated. You need to divert the water away from your home. I would consult a professional.
If the subfloor is concrete, you will need to airflow to the area to dry it. If it's wood, you need to figure out a solution.
