Our water heater in the garage just failed in Arlington

Hi all. Our water heater in the garage just failed in Arlington, it split at the bottom and flooded the garage and part of the laundry room next to it. Water went under the wall into the drywall. Plumber's coming for a new heater, but what about the wet walls and floor? Does that need special drying? I want to get this handled before it turns into a mold problem. Insurance is already notified. The heater was about twelve years old, so I guess it was due.
