If your carpet got soaked from a burst pipe or a leaky roof, don't panic yet. The key is acting fast to prevent mold. Start by extracting as much water as possible with a wet/dry vacuum, then run fans and a dehumidifier for days. Even after it feels dry, check for hidden moisture below the padding. A pro can test the subfloor, but if you catch it within 24 hours and the water was clean, there's a good chance your carpet can be saved.
