[quote=Anonymous]We just had something similar happen after the heavy rain last week. In our case water was coming up from the floor and just in one smallish area. We rented a carpet cleaner to suck out the water- stronger then a wet vac. Then we put fans on it and also the next morning rented a carpet fan from a tool supply place. We have a dehumidifier coming Monday, HD was out of stock as were most places we checked locally so we went the Amazon route. It is totally dry now and the dehumudifier will help too. We aren't pulling it up or replacing at this point. If you pull up where the carpet was tacked and can get a carpet fan blowing under you can save the carpet if not the padding. Mold takes 72 hours to start.[/quote]
