Somewhere water is getting into the car. For me it was from the sunroof drains. Check that none of the hoses have pulled out. There's one on each side of the trunk and one behind each kick panel. You could also get water if any of the plastic plugs are missing from the frame rails under the car.

Finally, you get more water if it rusts right through the floor boards.

(speaking from experience)
I did somewhat take that for granted, didn't I? Wet carpets whether from being around salt and snow, or having a larger problem, will cause this corrosion/rust.
