Foot well for my sedan flooded. I ripped out the padded below the carpet, to inhibit an future mold growth.

What sounds deading material do y'all recommend? What padding should I use with it?

It probably flooded from your heater core, it's probably got a leak. Without any other information, thats the most common cause of this type of issue.

I have DynaMat in my 1968 Ford Galaxie 500, and it immensely cut down on road noise. On the floor I don't have a tibia pad or any padding, its just the sheet metal floorpan, the DynaMat, and the carpet on top. The DynaMat is also on the doors, parcel shelf (rear deck), roof, floors, transmission tunnel, and firewall interior.

The DynaMat also retains some amount of heat inside the cabin on especially cold days. Unfortunately, its still a steel oven on hot days.
