They need to cut a "ripper" in the drywall at the bottom about 8"-12" up from the floor. It will stop the water from wicking up and allow you to suck up the water in the studs and bottom track/plate of the wall.

If they keep sucking up the water they could save the carpet but is it worth it? Is the carpet glued down? If not can they roll it up and get it out. With the water being in there for so long the concrete is wet too.
