After the water damage, the carpet finally feels dry, but there's a faint musty smell and a few light stains remain where the water soaked deepest. You can see some slight discoloration in patches, and the fibers feel a bit stiff in spots. Still, it's progress—the sticky dampness is gone, and the room doesn't smell as heavy. You hope a few more days of airing out will fully erase the memory of the flood.
