Your friend has a good point in that mold and mildew should be totally absent from a grow room, and the carpet is a potential risk. I wouldn't say you can't grow DWC, just that you will need to be careful and clean, which is a given for any grow room. DWC on carpet is not ideal, but it is ok.

build a box out of cheap wood and use poly and cualk to seal it up. Grow inside the box on the carpet in case of water spills, they happen.

You could also just throw a couple layers of plastic down... But building a box is a good idea too
