We live in an area of largely 100+ year-old houses, and although they've been gentrified in large part, the pipes are usually old and they burst a lot. The guys with the big heated blowers show up all the time. So dry it first, then clean it. You want to not only save the carpet, but eliminate mold, which can cause health problems down the line if you let it get established under the carpet or under the floor.
