Few days ago I noticed our tempdb is started to grow fast. How can I see what is causing this? We didn’t do anything recently. Soon we will run out of disk space.

All databases provide database monitoring mechanisms which you need to use to find out the reason. You can find out these scipts on internet by searching using google. You did not mention which db you are using and hence unable to help much.

Most likely you have memory issues and your SQL Server is using tempdb to store data or you are running DBCC CheckDB command often (stores results in tempdb)
Running bulk transactions also can cause this.
