Woke up this morning to find the floor wet near my furnace. Opened the little room up to find a bunch of water all over the floor. Looks like the condensation pump went out a few days ago (it was totally full of water). I've mopped up what I can easily get to, but there's still pic related left behind the furnace. I can probably squeeze back there if I twist on my side, but I want to know if I need to bother. I'm running a dehumidifier, several fans, and heaters to try and get what I couldn't mop up.

How concerned should I be about this water back there? It's maybe 1-2 millimeters of water at the very most. I'd rather not crawl back there and I really don't want to hire someone to come out and clean all this up, but I also don't want mold growing back there.

For reference that wall you can see separates the little area the furnace is in from a carpeted basement main room. Water has gone under the wall and into the next room, but I've been soaking it all up with towels all day as well as running the aforementioned fans/heaters/dehumidifiers. Ignore the damprid. My roommate put that in there thinking it would help and I didn't really want to say anything about it.
