After a flood or leak, wet carpet can feel like a giant sponge. You need to act fast to prevent mold and mildew. Start by extracting as much water as possible with a wet-dry vacuum, then set up fans and a dehumidifier to pull moisture from the fibers and the pad underneath. It's a slow process, often taking several days, and you might need to pull up the carpet to dry the subfloor completely to avoid future problems.
