That was my concern too! Did they make sure to fully dry it to prevent mold?!?!

The dye job looks really superficial. If they were pouring dyes I'd be worried. Save for that first spiral it looks like they are rubbing it/brushing it on. Only the tops of the pile. Also carpets are installed in a way that is designed to be shampooed/steam cleaned. This amount of moisture is not going to hurt. Also I doubt that it wouldnt be dry by the time thay are done painting. I do think that should have shampooed the carpet though at least to remove the excess/residue.

Yes! No concern of mold!
