Water coming up through laminate flooring

View the thread, titled "Water coming up through laminate flooring" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

Hi all,
Many thanks for any help you can offer here. I'm in a house where laminate flooring was already down and recently I've noticed brown liquid coming up between a few gaps in the hallway. We're groundfloor maisonette in a built up area, a good 700m or so from any river. I imagine there is a lot of moisture underneath the floor but unaware of any pipes going under us. Is this something to be worried about?
Thank you! Pics attached.

Could you have pipes in the floor?
Are there any pipes that pass through the floor? (Soil, heating, hot, cold, waste etc).
Is this a suspended floor or solid (concrete, asphalt)
 
How far away is the nearest toilet / sink / bath / water pipe?
It's probably a leak from a pipe and it's travelling under the laminate till it finds a way out.
