How to identify source of water coming into house?

Recently repainted bedroom and added new built ins. When old carpet lifted to relay new carpet there were two damp patches on yellow tongue flooring. Plumber has indicted sub floor - no water leaks. Builder indicted bricks/windows/roof - no water entry points. Two different areas of room. Have used dehumidifier/drying. Surface dries then hours later wet again. Subfloor area dry. House on piers. Any suggestions of what to do? Desperate!!!! 

Re: How to identify source of water coming into house?

Hi Eric. Thank you for all the info. 
Flooring that is damp is yellow tongue flooring in two different areas of room. Plumber, building/pest inspector have examined boards underneath damp patch (underside of boards dry except gif a very small area). No moisture detected in any other floor areas, walls, ceiling or roof cavity. House on bearers and joists. No water damage or moisture in sub floor area.
