Plumbing Issue with Washing Machine Faucets

Came home from a 5-day business trip to find the kitchen floor warped and the ceiling collapsed in the bedroom below.

At first we thought it was the spigot in the garage that leaked because we just turned it on last Sunday. Further inspection revealed it was both the hot/cold faucets for the washer. The leak is where the faucet screw down/up for on/off; not the hose connections.

This is new construction approximately 8 months old with all pex lines and a manifold system.

Has anyone heard of a faucet - let alone both faucets - leaking as described? Could the fact we turned on the spigot in the garage have created some pressure?

Any thoughts or feedback you can share is greatly appreciated.
