A new floor can be intended to permanently cover the subfloor when it is installed under a variety of different materials and methods (e.g., wall-to-wall carpeting installed with tackless strips, vinyl or linoleum tiles installed with peel-and-stick glue backing, laminate floors installed with planks that lock or glue together, etc.).
Once the water is out, peel back the carpeting (watch out for those rusted sharp nails on the tackless stripping) and remove the wet pad.
