So about a week ago two rooms in my house flooded with about an inch of water. (Don't ask me how it happened). We moved the furniture and cleaned the water up with towels. Fast forward 5 days and the rooms are unbearable. There is the worst -blam!- smell coming out of them, we are thinking about getting the carpet replaced.
So, was it the water that caused the carpet to smell like this? If so, how?
Also one of the rooms happens to be my bedroom.

Its mold. Getting the carpets cleaned will only changed will only fix part of the problem, as some moisture probably entered the wall. To put it simple, there is mold growing in that room in places you wouldn't even think of.
