Default Is this a Foundation Problem?

So, After all the rain the other day... My Lantana front bedroom had water on the carpet in the area of the bow front window (all the way around) approx 15 inches inside from area of the baseboard-soaking the carpet.

The Ceiling is NOT wet. The Walls are NOT wet. The Window sill is DRY as a bone. Just the floor possibly where the foundation where the floor meets the foundation?

So, Hubby and I dug around the window outside to see if there was an issue like a crack? NO obvious areas of concern. He checked the roof- No problems there either. House was bought new in 2013-- Anyone ever have this happen? House has overhang and no gutter above, no obvious standing water anywhere, no obvious sink hole.

Here are some Pictures--small crack blown up but it really is about a 1/32 superficial area and for whatever reason block seems wet (see picture) where rest of house is dry. Pictures were taken Saturday. Carpet is dry-but concern for MOLD?
