I would not use a dry vacuum on a damp carpet. My day job is as the owner of a Janitorial Supply Distributor. I fix vacuums all the time that have rusted motors casued by someone vacuuming the carpets when they are wet. You will get away with it for a while but it is not long term. If you deal with damp carpets, where damp is defined as a vacuum will take out moisture I would suggest investing in a spotter which is nothing more than a mini extractor. You could also let them air dry or force dry them with a air mover type fan.
I have a spotter, a steamer and a wet dry vac. I extract my interior 1x per year after the winter and when the temperature is above 40 degrees. I dry vacuum, pre spray, extract with just water and then extract with just vacuum.
You can also get quite a shock vacuuming wet carpets with a dry vacuum!
AutopiaForums is the place to be.

Your better off just using a shop vac.
On a side note,
You wouldnt believe the amount of gunk you can pull out of carpet floormats by pressure washing them.
It also gets all the residual cleaner out.

If you can `feel` the water being vacuumed up the hose then it`s to wet for a dry vac.
