Pull out everything that was saturated as soon as possible and discard. You really need to make sure that your studs and plates, etc. dry thoroughly and quickly. They too can become mildewed and molded. Many people will cut drywall at the water line and only dispose of that portion. Better to get it all out–insures you can get to wet insulation and those studs I mentioned. Carpet-everything’s gotta go!
Remove all furnishings and carpeting. Strip the drywall off and remove all insulation batting in the walls. Use fans to thoroughly dry the area. Next, shut off power to the area and spray a 5 to 1 water/bleach solution on all structural wood, wall cavities, and floor surfaces. Then pressure wash the areas you sprayed with the bleach water solution. Remove all excess water from the area. Once again, use fans to dry the area. You are now ready to start refinishing the rooms.
