Run the fan over it, If it is near a corner, and wall to wall, lift it, and put something under it to let air dry carpet and pad. If an odor, spray with vinegar and let it dry. Have an installer fasten it back and stretch it down. We had water from hot water tank, and involved the insurance, it was well worth it. We paid our deductible, and got new carpet for the $500 deductible. The pad is where the mold will grow...

It seems dry. We will watch the pad.
This discussion could be useful to anyone who EVER has this problem.

If it's leaving a stain,sprinkle it with bi-carb soda while it is still damp & brush it in.Then vac it up when it's dry.You can hire a carpet dryer fan with a special scoop on it to go under the carpet as well.Alternatively,what Ray said is a good idea.Fork out the 500 bucks deductible & get new carpet thru your insurance,

We had this water problem because my husband put a new handle on the bathroom sink. It leaked while we slept. Now I have only hot water in there.
What kind of vinegar? White? Cider?
The fans are going. Most of the water has been sucked out by the shop vac. HOW CAN YOU KNOW IF MOLD IS GROWING? (The wet area is in the hall - no corner available.)
