If the moisture intrusion is recent, all the above comments are excellent. Wet vac the carpet, blot dry as best you can, and then make sure the subfloor area is dry. You may have to remove some of the fixtures (furniture, floor bearing cabinets, et cetera) and raise the carpet to expose the subfloor to forced (fanned) ventilation, but it will be well worth the effort. A little bit of "wet" goes a long way if you leave it... leading to rot. I have owned a number of sailboats and a quick evacuation of moisture is important to preservation of the interior. Lift up the carpet & padding as much as possible and ventilate.
Much cheaper than a subfloor replacement!
