There have been several goods comments already, but I have a question, what type of floor covering do you have? It is very easy for water to travel UNDER the floor covering and show up some distance away from the actual leak. How big is the leak, my point, you can turn off the main valve in the house, open a faucet to bleed off any residual pressure, and dry the wet area and wait a few hours. If no water appears you probably have a leak inside the house as noted previously.

When you go to turn on the water, I would first turn off all of the valves you can find (toilets, sinks, dishwasher, washer, etc.), then turn on the water, look for the leak, and then start turning on valves at maybe 30 minute interval until water appears, then you may have located your leak.
Hope this helps.
