Angry hot floor

Don't know where to begin -- who to call.
But we have a tiled house, built in '73, and my wife started noticing that a section of the floor in the kitchen was warm. This area has been growing wider and warmer over the past month, and I'm beginning to suspect someone will have to rip out tile and we'll have to redo the whole house... Obviously, would like to avoid that.

The warm area is near an island, and there is a hot water heater on the diagonal between the heater, hot spot, and sink. There are no obvious problems with the water heater -- nothing I can see -- pipe goes into a wall, no water leaks or unusual water problems...

The island is not electrified. But we do have our more than our share of appliance problems in the kitchen.

I guess the question is: what's a good starting point? what type of person do I call?
