you have to lift up the edge of the carpet and blow air into it-i don't know how long it was dam for ,but you might have to use some diluted bleach under your underlay-almost sounds like you have mould

Yep...smells real bad. Makes you want to quit. I went to Costco or Walmart and bought my own steam cleaner. I works very well but you got to be patient and clean it a couple times. And then get a blower fan on it to wick out as much moisture as you can............

i had to rip up the carpet lay new underlay and run fans and a dehumidifier in the room for like 3 days . haha bu that was when 100 gallons of saltwater covered the entire room it was brutal
