I hope this helps

My line of thinking is that the carpet itself is fine, but it's possible in the cleanings that it got wet enough that it pushed the odor down into the pad. I can pull up the carpet and put in all new pad for $1850. The suggestion was made to put some Killz on the subfloor before putting the pad back down though.
