Possible underground leaking pipe

Good Morning Folks

I hope you're well. I have found that the carpet on my kitchen floor has has got wet patches in around 3 places. I have checked the walls and ceiling of the kitchen, including the rest of the house, and there doesn't seem to be water anywhere else.

I presume that means there is a pipe leak from under the ground? If so, would that be covered by my home insurance policy?

Has anybody else come across that problem before? What's the best way to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Not necessarily, there could be other causes to eliminate first.

Photos would help, showing the position and size of the wet patches. Where are they in relation to the sink? What wet appliances do you have in there? Fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers could all leak water. Is the floor under the carpet uneven so what you're seeing are pools of water when in fact the whole floor may be wet under the carpet?
