Eventually the water is going to cause mildew to set in the floor carpeting and of course rust can also form on the metal under the carpet. However, rusting is a process that takes a very long time so you shouldn't worry about this so long as you get the issue fixed before it rains too many more days on the vehicle. The mildew will set up rather quickly though, so drying up the water the best you can after every rainfall is important until you can get it fixed.
