help! Basement has water in it. Help?

Question

my room is in the basement. it rained yesterday and i woke up this morning to a wet carpent. is there a way i can dry up the water so there wont be mold growth on my carpet.

Answer 1

Wet/Dry Vacuum Followed By Dehumidifier - Better check the entrance source of the rain though & get that taken care of soon as small leaks will only get larger . After about 3 days of running the dehumidifier , purchase a container of " Carpet Fresh " or spread some baking soda all over the carpet , let sit for 6+ hours minimum & vacuum .

Answer 2

Can you get/rent ot borrow a wet and dry shop vac? They can suck up water.
