If you are using this room as a utility and have a tumble dryer or you are drying clothes on radiators i think the carpet tiles are just sweating with the moisture in the room

I'm not too sure if out houses were/are covered by building regs because they're mainly not part of the house and damp prevention might not be a concern.
If it did have a DPC (damp proof course) then it might have been fitted damaged. If it didn't have one fitted, I suggest you dig the old floor out, screed with sand, DPC membrane, insulation, wire mesh and then concrete.

It sounds like the footings were not good enough, and damp is being drawn in through them. If you cant find any other reason for it, you will need to dig out in sections the footings and make sure they are deep enough and maybe put a damp course in.

Try a bitumen tanking solution, applied with a brush. can be bought from wikes or b&q. they will also have details how to apply and safety info.
