Daniel,

Whenever we have an area of carpet that gets wet, my brother thinks
that the best way to dry it is to use a heat lamp. *I think that
unless the relative humidity is extremely high, a fan would work
much better.

What do you think? *Thank you in advance for all replies.

I think what is the best to pull the carpet away from the floor. The
pad just soaks up a lot of the moisture and fosters fungus growth.

I would use a wet/dry vac to get as much water up and then perhaps
run a dehumidifier.

There's got to be someone in your area that does this. Ask them what
they do.

After an accident with a toilet that flooded a whole house I mixed up
about 20 gal of OXY CLEAN and pour it out over the carpet then called
the pros to have the water extracted. You would never know it ever
happened.
