Cleaning it up properly means pumping, extracting, removing wet finishes, and drying a space that naturally holds humidity.

If the water was clean and extracted quickly, the carpet may be saved with new pad. If it came from a drain backup or outside seepage, it usually should be replaced.
Most basements dry in three to seven days, since concrete releases moisture slowly.
