I too have had a similar problem. Never had leakage issues with the exception of if you forgot the hose was running to water one small flower bed and left it for a couple of hours. We forgot it for over 3 hrs one night last summer and drenched a big section of the carpet. I actually moved the furniture out of the way and then peeled back the carpet off of the tack strips to get air moving underneath the carpet and pad too. We couldn't use our rec. room for nearly a week but it got dried out. After it was nearly dry I rented a carpet cleaner and cleaned up the discolored area. At that point I realized I should have rented one in the first place since they're designed to suck water out of carpets.
Long story short, do what G.O.T. said and go get yourself a carpet cleaner. Don't try to put hot water on the area. It will cool quickly and just be even wetter than before with minimal evaporation.
