Answer 2

Sop up all the excess with towels. Then throw those in the bathtub/shower for now so they don't drip water everywhere else.

Next, after all the mess is cleaned up, pull up the affected area of carpet and tear out the wet pad. Get a huge fan and prop it under the wet carpet area so that the air gets it and dries it from underneath. Depending on the saturation level, you may need to run it for a couple of days.

Then grab some cheap pad at the flea market and cut to fit that shape, tuck it in there, and tack the carpet back down. ONLY after it is thoroughly dry.

Answer 3

You may need to pull up some of the carpet to get the fans plowing on the pad to dry faster.

Answer 4

rent a carpet shampoo machine and suck it up
pull up the carpet at one side and run a fan under the carpet to dry out th padding also

Answer 5

Do you know of anyone who has a shop vac? They not only suck up dirt but also suck up water. If you can get one of those then put a fan in the room and overnight most of the carpet will be dry. Good luck.

The drain hose must be clogged. Remove it and clear it out, or find the clog in the machine where the drain hose is attached. Try a wire hanger or something like that.
