I've had this problem. The check valve that sits between the city water line and your water pump has failed and the city water just continued to fill up your water tank until it overflowed and just kept going until you unhooked from the water supply. I even had a water pressure regulator on my hose at the time. I had my RV dealer install a new water pump that had a little higher rating, and a new check valve.
Just keep mopping and airing out until you are dry again.
In the meantime, just use the on board water and you should be o.k. until you can get it fixed.
