Dampness may cause corrosion in joins between different metals, which can cause problems in electrical connections, so check them carefully.

(I hope you left some unsoldered joiners to allow for expansion/contraction from temperature changes.)

My guess is that unless it was actually submerged it should only require a good cleaning.
